                    ASSESSMENT AND HOW TO

                    GET THE ITEM

  E-Meter Essentials, page 17, "Rock Slam"





The correct definition of INSTANT READ is THAT REACTION OF THE 

NEEDLE WHICH OCCURS AT THE PRECISE END OF ANY MAJOR THOUGHT VOICED 

BY THE AUDITOR.



All definitions which state it is fractions of seconds after the 

question is asked are canceled.



Thus, an instant read which occurs when the auditor assesses an 

item or calls a question is valid and would be taken up, and latent 

reads, which occur fractions of seconds after the major thought, 

are ignored.



Additionally, when looking for reads while clearing commands or 

when the preclear is originating items, the auditor must note only 

those reads which occur at the exact moment the pc ends his 

statement of the item or command.
