Flowers for Algernon Ch. 2

A scientist named Burt gives Charlie a "raw shok" test. I believe it is a test for mentally slow people to see the ability of their knowledge and imagination. Burt asks Charlie what does he think about the cards that is painted with black ink. Charlie does not comprehend the concept of the test. Furthermore, he could not answer since his imagination is limited. At the end, he was a little angry about the test, but worried that he was going to fail the test. He believes all tests are graded like how schools grade them.
