R4 is an artifact (although it could be the key)----and on a blind stim, any movement like that deep breath serves as good practice for admonishing (politely) an examinee from doing so.

A blind stim with ANY artifact like that is negated---unless the artifact appears on a padding or neutral.

That blind stim test is unusable----and in the interest of time, I would admonish the examinee and move on with the regular test, rather than attempting a new test.

Had R4 been un artifacted, than clearly R5 is the most promising suspect. But with R4 being crap, you can never tell for sure.

Good call stat.

The correct answer is: rubber-hose the subject for not cooperating with the test.

I didn't call this one at the time. I had the examinee hand me the number, on which he was seated, which I then put under my clipboard until after the test.

He asked what the answer was, and I told him he already knows.
