Uchida-Kraepelin Mental Performance Test

...German psychiatrist Kraepelin recognized that there is a certain law between the amount of work and the elapsed time when a person continues a simple task, and he considered the factors that contribute to the fluctuation of the amount of work per unit time using the method of continuous addition, and published a paper titled "Work Curve" in 1902. In Japan, Narazaki Asataro and others adopted this method, and in 1924, Uchida Yuzaburo proposed a 30-minute method (15 minutes of work, 5 minutes of rest, 10 minutes of work). He first examined people with mental disorders and later the general public, and pursued the relationship between personality types and the curve, and the relationship with mental disorders, and developed it as an aptitude test (Uchida-Kraepelin Mental Work Test). Specifically, numbers are printed horizontally, and adjacent numbers are added in order, and the first digit of the sum is written in one after another, and the curve is judged based on the amount of work, agitation, and the effect of resting for each line. ...
