               the important thing here is retentiveness, which you cannot test
               until you have read Chapter 11.

                                         Test #4
                 Imagine  that someone has taken five cards  out of  a  shuffled
               deck of playing cards.  Now the  rest of the  cards (47)  are  called
               off to you just once. Could you tell, by memory, which five were
               not  called, or were missing? Let's try it. Look down this list  of
               forty-seven cards only once. After you've  done  so,  take  a pencil
               and  jot  down the  names of the five cards that  you  think  are
               missing. You must not  look at the book while you are writing.
               Don't take  more  than  four  and  a  half  minutes to  look at  the list
               of cards.  I will ask  you to take this test  again, after you have
               read and  studied Chapter  10. Give yourself 20  points for  every
               missing card you list correctly.

                 Take about  six or seven minutes  to look  at the fifteen faces
               and  names pictured here.  Towards the end of  this  chapter  you'll
               find them  pictured  again  in a different  order, without their
               names. See if  you  can't give the  right name to  the  right picture.
               I'll remind you to take this test again, after you've read through
