Extract

Few patients in British mental hospitals are given a standardized mental test. Such tests may not be indispensable, but properly interpreted they tend to a precision otherwise lacking in clinical observation. Many psychiatrists rely on the answers to haphazard questions on general knowledge, simple arithmetic and so on. These not only have an indefinite significance, but may flatter to deceive.
