Approved For Release 2001/03/07 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300330001-8 LN734-85 Test Material Manufacturing Sequence On the basis of the above discussion and experience over the past several years, we suggest the following manufacturing sequence for test materials... 1. Design: Based on the level of abilities and special characteristics of the subject being tested, as well as the requirements of the contents and selection of test objects, uniqueness of the test material and container, and the materials and irreversability of the container. 2. Simulation: Someone (usually the people conducting the experiment) takes the part of the subject and tries all possible means to subvert the designed "blocking" and "elimination" measures, in an attempt to find any existing problems in the test materials. 3. Improves Using any problems discovered in simulation, raising suggestions for improving the test materials, then carrying out another simulation and another improvement step. 4. Pretest: Using test materials that have been repeatedly subjected to simulation and improvement in a pretest, and then improving again if any additional problems are discovered. 5. Final Determination: After repeated improvements have resulted in satisfaction, the test materials may be submitted for use in the formal experiment. 6. Evaluation: After every experiment, there should be a strict evaluation of the scientific nature fo the test materials used, in order to continues to improve the quality of the test materials. © (1) The Joint Evaluation Group for Human Psychic Functions, "Human Paranormal Capabilities" 1(1983)9.
