Three tests of motor skills for children from 5 to 14 were administered to 184 normal elementary school pupils and 40 children with school problems. The tests were: the maze test of kinetic tremor, the graduated holes test of static tremor and the pegboard test. Means and standard deviations for each CA group and intertest correlations are presented. Reliability estimates for a second group of Ss are also given.
