Scoring

   The  scoring is  designed  to  be performed  quickly  and easily.

In the roughest way,  it distinguishes verbalizers from visualizers.

The individual's score is computed simply by adding up their scores

on  all fifteen items and dividing by fifteen.    Verbalizers  will

have high scores,   that is,

equal to or  approaching 1,  and  visualizers  will have low scores,

that is, equal to or  approaching 0.   To calculate, simply

attribute  the  following  values to  the  T  and  F responses:


          1.  T=1 F=0     8.  T=1  F=0


          2.  T=0 F=1     9.  T=1  F=0


          3.  T=1 F=0    10.  T=1  F=0


          4.  T=1 F=0    11.  T=0  F=1


          5.  T=0 F=1    12.  T=1  F=0


          6.  T=1 F=0    13.  T=1  F=0


          7.  T=0 F=1    14.  T=0  F=1


                   15.  T=0  F= 1
