On the final test he refused to read faster than he could understand and consequently finished only about half of the reading in the time allotted. On the comprehension test, he scored 80 per cent on the questions covering the part he read and 70 per cent on the reading he had not done. In a letter to the director of the Bridgeport, Connecticut, Institute, Gordon writes of the second test...
