17. Viva-voce test has become an important instrument whenever test of personal attributes are considered essential. No satisfactory written test have yet been devised for measuring such personal characteristics as initiative, ingenuity and ability to elicit co-operation, many of which are of prime importance. When properly employed, the oral test today deserves a place in the battery used by the technical examiner. The viva-voce test performs a very useful function in assessing personal characteristics and traits and in fact, test the man himself and is therefore regarded as in important tool along with the written examination.
