To enable a blind subject to take tests without the use of a reader or recorder, the author has developed a system for forming a “response button” in the thermoformed plastic sheet on which the questions and choice of responses are reproduced in braille. The response buttons are formed by placing small wooden dowel-plugs on the master braille copy. The blind subject then merely depresses the domed button next to the response of his choice. The tests are re-usable; the dowel-plugs also can be re-used in the making of new tests.
