Abstract: An electronic testing device comprising a housing, test overlays, at least one data entry overlay, operating mode selector means and a microprocessor and associated circuitry. The testing device is arranged for either a testing mode of operation or a data entry mode of operation, with either mode being effected in response to the operating mode selector. The test overlays are each arranged to be releasably secured to said housing and bear indicia forming a plurality of questions and a plurality of possible answers corresponding to the questions. The overlays additionally comprise coding which cooperates with input on the housing to specify a set of correct answers to the questions when the device is in the testing mode. The housing additionally comprises plural electrical contacts arranged when actuated by an electrical probe to select a desired answer for each of the questions and for providing an electrical signal indicative thereof.

Abstract: A multiple aptitude testing device for electronically evaluating an examinee's capacity or aptitude toward performing various vocational tasks. The device includes a test station which affords five general types of examinations, namely, objective question and answer tests, a manual dexterity test, a finger dexterity test, a hand/eye coordination test, and a hand/eye/foot coordination test. The question and answer examinations entail interchangable overlays which contain questions and possible answers such that the examinee selects what he deems is the correct answer by contacting an appropriate sensor on the housing with an electrically conductive answer probe. The other four examinations entail counters for electronically measuring the number of times the examinee is able to perform a manipulative task during a fixed period of time. The device provides an electronic comparator for automatically grading the examinations and displaying or printing a test score associated with each of said tests.

Abstract: The Career Occupation Basic Skills Training System is comprised of a number of open-entry-exit programs designed to meet the pre-vocational and pre-employment needs of the participant. All of the programs are aimed at helping the participant to develop an accurate image of his/her own goals, needs, and skills relative to the world of work. Each of the training programs provides job exploration, occupational awareness, and entry-level preparation through competency building tasks. This is accomplished in a brief amount of time, in a nonthreatening, simulated work environment. At the conclusion of any of the programs, the unskilled participant will have gained much needed information as well as job-getting skills for entry-level positions.

Abstract: An electronics assembly evaluator for evaluating the skill and knowledge of a prospective electronics assembler. The evaluator provides the assembler with considerable amount of work to perform in the fabrication of a test circuit and a wire harness while maintaining a completely safe electrical environment independent of the work performed by the assembler. The evaluator includes a device for determining the accuracy as well as the quality of the work performed.
