The document describes the arrangement of shapes on a form board used in the Seguin Form Board Test, an intelligence test developed in 1856. The test assesses visuo-motor skills, eye-hand coordination, shape concept, visual perception and cognitive ability through arranging blocks in their numbered positions on the board in front of the subject. The shapes are stacked in three piles from left to right, with the rectangle on the bottom and star on the top right corner.

In 1856, Edouard Seguin (1812-1880) developed a simple performance-based
intelligence test using form boards to evaluate eye–hand coordination, shape concept, visual perception, and cognitive ability through nonverbal means. The Seguin Form Board Test is based on the single factor theory of intelligence, measures speed and accuracy. It is useful in evaluating a child's eye-hand co- ordination, shape-concept, visual perception and cognitive ability. The test primarily used to assess visuo-motor skills. Arrangement: Blocks are put just below the lower border of the board towards the subject’s side. The Board’s position is so placed that the star is towards the examiner. With the subject watching, the ten pieces are stacked in three piles, starting with the rectangle, in the order shown by the numbers below:
