Group Intelligence Tests....(1) Raven's Matrices(Raven, 1965). This test first developed by Raven just before the war now has a considerable number of revisions which allow testing of children from five years old through to superior adults. The matrices item in all forms are of one kind. Sequences of diagrams are shown and subjects have to select the next one in the sequence. What is needed in this test, therefore, is the ability to work out the relationship between the diagrams and to apply the rule in a new instance. 1, record 16, English, - Raven%26rsquo%3Bs%20Matrices

Research has shown that using a dawn simulator (or Bodyclock) can significantly reduce the severity of SAD [seasonal affective disorder] symptoms, and many SAD sufferers use both a Bodyclock and a lightbox to optimise their treatment.

Bodyclocks work by waking you up naturally with light. You choose the time you want to wake up and the light very slowly begins to get brighter(like a sunrise) and starts your body's natural wake-up process. Although you’re still asleep, your body is responding to the increasing light and when the light reaches full brightness you wake up naturally, not suddenly, to a room filled with a sunny glow. By giving your body a kind of "head-start, "instead of still feeling drowsy and confused when you wake up, you feel refreshed, positive and ready for the day ahead. 3, record 20, English, - dawn%20simulator

Tools for Performing a Training Needs Assessment. To determine whether and what kind of training is needed, the manager or the training specialist(or both working together) should look at the current work situation, decide what skills are needed, and determine what skills the staff lack. There are two types of training needs assessments : one for basic training of new staff and one for strengthening the skills of current staff. For the first, use job descriptions or task analyses to determine the correct curriculum for initial training. For the second, use supervision or client surveys to reveal the problem areas to address in training. 3, record 25, English, - training%20needs%20assessment
