This 7 page, double-sided, blank test paper includes exam questions on identity recognition. This test would have been taken by trainee border guards in order to verify the identity of those attempting to cross the border. There were 7 exercises , each with multiple components; the questions refer to photographs of people that would have been supplied separately in another test booklet. The cover page asks for the personal information of the guard taking the test. Exercise 1, which requires the trainee to identify the different areas of the face, begins here. Exercise 1 continues on page 2 and requires the respondent to name the different parts of the ear. Exercise 2 (p. 2-3) asks for a complete description of a person; for example, the trainee must provide answers for forehead height and width, the shape of earlobes, angle and degree of openess of eyelids and the widths of both upper and lower lips. Exercise 3 (p. 4) asks the trainee to match descriptions of persons with photographs and to correct a faulty description. Exercise 4 (p. 5-7) asks for 5 characteristics of 12 persons in the order of their significance. Exercise 5 (p. 8) tests the ability to identify matches out of a group of 9 photographs. Exercise 6 (p. 8-10) asks trainees to find identity matches and list 3 characteristics as justification. In Exercise 7 (p. 11-14), trainees are provided with 9 pairs of photographs and must compare 5 characteristics for each pair, ultimately deciding whether the pair is a match.
