Level 5 & 6

(5) Exploratory Actions: Characterized by overt trial-and-error problem-solving. New learning occurs. This may be the usual level of functioning for 20% of the population. 

(6) Planned Actions: Characterized by the absence of disability. The person can think of hypothetical situations and do mental trial-and-error problem solving.

Purdue Peg Board 

Bonus: Why is it preferred over the Nine Hole Peg Test. 

Test of fingertip dexterity and assembly job simulation. 

Scoring: thirty second test is the number of pins placed in the board in 30 seconds. Assembly is the number parts assembled during one minute. 

You can use this with someone who has MS, can you think of any other diagnosis?

It is preferred over the Nine Hole Peg Test because it is unilateral and bilateral, and more reliable.
