... [A] widely used manual dexterity test, which ... utilizes no tools is the Purdue Pegboard. This test is said to provide a measure of two types of activity, one requiring gross movements of hands, fingers, and arms, and the other involving tip-of-the-finger dexterity needed in small assembly work. First, pins are inserted individually in small holes with the right hand, left hand, and both hands together in successive trials. In another part of the test, pins, collars, and washers are assembled in each hole. 1, record 2, English, - Purdue%20Pegboard
