self-test Explanation: Self can be either a noun or an adjective used in combination with a noun or verb. Combinations of adjective-noun or adjective-verb are always hyphenated. See WordNet: Noun S: (n) self, ego (your consciousness of your own identity) S: (n) self (a person considered as a unique individual) "one's own self" Adjective S: (adj) self ((used as a combining form) relating to--of or by or to or from or for--the self) "self-knowledge"; "self-proclaimed"; "self-induced" http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=self Compare: self-esteem, self-worth, self-satisfaction, self-harm, etc. Both Websters and the Shorter Oxford given hundreds of example with hyphens, Websters specifically including 'self-test'. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 days (2010-09-02 08:54:39 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Van Dale is a translation **aid**, not an authority on the English language! Surely you also have an authentic English (i.e. monolingual) dictionary on your bookshelf? |
