ABSTRACT
In all intelligence tests of the kind applied here, one circumstance is always repeated: if one single part of the “solutions” in the proceedings we have discussed (e.g. the beginning) be considered by itself and without any relation to the remaining parts, it represents behaviour which, in the face of the task, i.e. the attaining of the objective, seems to be either quite irrelevant or else to lead in the opposite direction. It is only when we consider the whole course of the solution (or, as later, at least considerable sections instead of those parts) that this whole seems to have some significance, and each of the parts previously isolated takes on a meaning as a part of this whole.
