A short form of Witkin's embedded-figures test.

Abstract

A short form of Witkin''s Embedded-figures Test is presented as a good alterative to the longer form which sometimes may require more than an hour and a half for its administration. The short form correlates .99 with the entire scale, based upon a sample of 50 college students. "It thus appears that the 12-item short form with a 3-minute limit gives a very good approximation of results obtained from the entire Witkin embedded-figures test while requiring only half as much administration time.".
