Communication is provided between the group attitude indicator and each of the user control assemblies for indicating to the group the registered collective responses and inhibiting the registering means upon determination of any system inhibit response from any member of the group. The user control assemblies may be hand-held button panels or microswitch means positioned at the maxillary jaw muscles. The indicator means can be a column of lights or a pair of lights each of whose brilliance is controlled in accordance with the responses. The indicator can be means for producing sound.
