The reason for this différence lies in the fact that one person may hâve such vivid imagery that it is as easy for him to answer the first question as to say whether or not he sees a rose which is held before his open eyes, while to another person the task seems unreasonable, for with the best effort, he cannot see the slightest évidence of any concrète image, nor does he know what it is to hâve such an image.

stead of taking the questions in the order given, follow the order: I 1, II 1, III 1, IV 1, V 1, VI 1, VII 1, VIII 1, I 2, II 2, III 2, IV 2, etc., I 3, II 3, III 3, IV 3, etc. Introspective notes to supplément the numerical answers are very désirable.
