                ASSESSMENT


Assessment means the locating on a prepared list, one item.

Listing and nulling means the pc lists.

The laws of listing and nulling apply only to LISTING and nulling. 
It IS auditing.

The actions of assessment do not apply to listing and nulling and 
never have.

Assessment is from a prepared list. It was done around 1960. It 
still is used. It has its own actions.

But as the prepared lists as in Prehav became bulky, I then 
developed a NEW action where the pc listed.

DO NOT apply the rules of assessment, as in the E-Meter book, to 
listing and nulling.

These are two different actions entirely.

The key is that a list for assessment is always from a list 
prepared by the auditor or from an HCOB as in "7 resistive cases."

S&Ds, Remedy Bs, etc., are LISTED by the pc and follow the LAWS of 
listing and nulling.

This is assessment, a list prepared by the C/S or auditor, not the 
pc.

To get a clue to what happened, the C/S prepares a list:

   Lions      X
   Big Game   /    X
   Cats       X
   Felines    /    X
   Tigers     X
   Bearers    X
   Trucks     X
   Elephants  X
   Killing    F   LFBD [Editor: this item is circled]
   Camping    X

Then the auditor nulls it to ONE item.

This is then prepchecked or done on an L1 as a subject.

When you list and null, the pc gives the list.

Who got shot?

   Me         X     X
   Joe        X     X
   Bearers    F     /    X
   Elephants  X     X
   Tigers     LFBD  F    X

The auditor nulls this (Xes and second action noted).

TWO items are now reading so the auditor EXTENDS the list--

        Ext

IND --> The White Hunter  F   LFBD [Editor: this item is circled]
        The Dog           X

And then the auditor renulls the WHOLE list (second X, etc.) and 
only one item stays in, which is a complete list. That is the 
item. It is given to pc.
