Since 1990, the Mental Cutting Test has been widely used to measure spatial abilities in relation to graphics curricula. It became clear that the evaluation by MCT mainly reflects the ability to recognize the solid from the perspective drawing and the ability to consider the problems analytically. Most of the subjects who made low scores on the MCT, however, could not imagine the space itself, when they observed projection drawings. They seemed to have rather vague criteria for judging depth. In this respect, if the process of rotating the test solids is added to the MCT and given subjects discretionary views of the test solid, it might be possible to promote a better sense of recognizing a 3-D object and forming correct images.
