The procedures were discussed beforehand with
the Peace Corps personnel supervising educational
activities on each island, and they explained the
techniques and objectives to Marshallese teachers
whoactually conducted the tests. The tests were
given in the regular classrooms, and prescribed
time limits were used.
The test results are recorded as raw scores in
Appendix 2. The small numbers precluded any
statistical analyses ofthese results, but it is apparent
that the Ebeye group consistently scored considerably higher than the Rongelap group and
that ~~ for both groupsfell far below those
recorded as “norms” in the manual. Observations
during the testing indicated that, at Rongelap,
neither the Marshallese teacher nor the subjects
were very familiar with written examinations.
Motivation was poor and understanding of the
tests seemed marginal. The situation seemed
better at Ebeye (Kwajalein Atoll), where more
formal] school classes are held. The exigencies of a
field operation precluded improvementoftest conditions that would have permitted a moreleisurely
and better understood examination. Under the
circumstances, no quantitative interpretation of
these test results seems justifiable.
