Knox Basketball Skill Test
This document summarizes the Knox Basketball Test constructed in 1947 to measure basketball playing ability. The test consisted of 4 parts that tested speed dribbling, passing, layups, and reaction time. It was administered to 10 skilled high school basketball players, with their scores compared to non-players and less skilled players. The tests were timed and involved dribbling around obstacles, passing against a wall rapidly, making a layup after dribbling, and placing a coin in a cup based on a direction called out. Scores were recorded in seconds to complete each part and the full test.

As he crosses the signal line he is given a direction signal and places the penny in that cup. At the starting signal he turns and runs toward the cups. The direction signal is one of three commands: “red”, “white”, or “blue”. The time elapsing between the starting signal and the sound of penny striking in the cup is measured with a stop watch. The test is repeated four times and the total time for each of the four tests constitutes the score. SCORE:
