Two tests from a French battery, the Mira and Turning tests, were administered to 9 alcoholic males and 9 relatively abstemious males. Ss were matched on the basis of age. The qualitatively scored Mira test was submitted to judges in pairs. Seven judges made 55 correct identifications (p < .001). Three sets of objective scores from the Turning test yielded significant differences between the alcoholic group and the control group. The French battery of tests is considered to merit further investigation.
