Two forms of the Dominoes Test (D-48 and D-70), the Revised Beta Examination, Concept Mastery Test, Minnesota Clerical Test, and the Wesman Personnel Classification Test were administered to 87 graduate students enrolled in an Education curriculum. Results showed that the two forms of the Dominoes Test did not correlate well enough to be considered equivalent forms. Means, standard deviations, and correlations with the other four tests were comparable. Reliabilities were low for both the D-48 and D-70, but particularly low for the D-70.
