The
method of classification used here employs a flow chart approach. A series of questions or
tests is applied to the materials to be classified. The answers or results of these
questions or tests determines what category the material is placed into. It is kind of
like the game "twenty questions," but we will need only three questions or
tests. Each of these questions is described in the following pages. In the flow chart
outline shown here each diamond-shaped box represents a question or test of some kind and
each rectangular box represents a category into which the material "being
questioned" is placed.
