The aim of this research was establish if there has been the difference between the arousal level of subject and his performance in the test bimanual coordination. The arousal level was objectify by the measurement of electrodermal activity. The bimanual moving task represent the test "support drawing". The performance in this test is characterized by time, in which the proband executed the bimanual task and by improvement between the first and last retest. By force of the method box plot was created these groups of proband: the group most successful proband, the group least successful proband, the group with the effective training (with the maximal improvement) and the group with the least effective training (with the minimal improvement). It was found for successful performance of sensomotor task this is severe most for the rate of performance than of the accuracy, is optimal high arousal level of subject. Among the groups with the effective (Z1) and less effective internship (Z2) a difference especially in the intellectual test assumptions.
