Abstract
There is justification for believing that a useful test has been added to the resources of those wishing to use psy chological testing in selection procedures. A group procedure for a simple test of manual dexterity developed in Zambia has been adapted to A ustralian conditions, and the results suggest the test has application in a wide range of situations. The test has high face validity in the eyes of management and some measure of concurrent and predictive validity has been demonstrated with a variety of occupational groups and criteria. There arefew problems in training people to administer and mark the test with an acceptable level of reliability.
