Dexterity - Paper & Pencil version

Morrisby also offer a paper and pencil version of their dexterity tests.

This is a two part test which measures manual speed and manual skill. The first part involves hand and finger movements in which speed rather than skill contributes to a high score; the second part also involves hand and finger movements, but in this case accuracy is at a premium.

The performance time (including administration) is 4 minutes.

The tests can be used with candidates from 14 years old to adult.
