The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (1978) was evaluated to determine test-retest reliability and to determine if there were presensitizing effects at retest for 3- through 5-yr.-old children. 25 children were randomly assigned to two groups, with stratification for age and gender. The test-retest reliability was significantly high using the short form first, followed by either the short form and/or the eight subtests. No significant test sensitization of the short form to retesting with the short form or the eight subtests was found for 3- through 5-yr.-old children.
