ABSTRACT:
A method for rapidly and accurately evaluating the number of errors in a test document typed by a test applicant makes use of an original sample master sheet having subject matter imprinted on it in conventional type with margins and spacing established by rule. There is a duplicate of the original master sheet printed in the same type in white ink on a transparent check sheet having identical margins and spacing to those for the master sheet.
The test document is typed in black ink of the same type by the person whose skill is to be tested, using the same margins and spacing as directed for the original master sheet.
The transparent check sheet is placed over the test document with edges of the sheets in alignment. The white typed subject matter should be in alignment with the black typed subject matter. Errors are revealed by non-aligned black portions of the typed letters on the test document where they do not perfectly match the white letters. If horizontal or vertical alignment of words is out of register, the error is noted and words then aligned with each other.
All words having one or more black portions visible adjacent the white overlying words are tabulated as a record of errors.
