Abstract:	Two groups of continuing education students were tested using three of Viktor Lowenfeld's tests of visual-haptic perception. The scores from the three tests were added to yield a score which identified an individual's location on Lowenfeld's visual-haptic continuum. The investigation also uncovered scoring problems with two of the tests which had not been previously reported in the literature. It was concluded that the Picture a Building Test as well as the Test of Visual and Haptical Word Association should not be used in their original form as a vehicle for ascertaining an individual's perceptual aptitude. Raw data tables are included. (Author)
