PSYCHOLOGY FINDS
FITS AND M|SF|TS
Federal Bureau of Education
Shows Effects of Scientific
Tests in Business.

Washington, May Are you looking
for job as motorman? Prove your
ability by psychology. vii, you make
n good chauffeur? Submit to a mental
test and find out. Would you be sue
cessful telephone operator? You will
save the companys time and your own
by undergoing a psychological examina-
ton to determine your fitness for the
position.
Psychology, according % the latest
bulletin of the United States bureau of
education, now plays a prominent part
in the various plans for vocational guild
ance. 1t Is announced that scientists,
by means of psychological tests, hope
to devise ways OF measuring people with
regard to their qualifications for certain
kinds of work. The statement from the
government bureau SAYS
"Dr. Leonard p. Ayres Of the Sage
Foundation has just summed up a num-
Der of psychological tests for positions
actually put into practice in modern
industry. Thus the American Telephone
and Telegraph company engaged Profess
sor Munsterberg to introduce a test for
determining which applicants were like
| ly to prove good telephone operators.
The girls were examined with reference
to memory, attention, general intelligence,
space perception, rapidty Of movement.
accuracy of movement and association.
THE result showed that the girls who
qualified in the tests were the most ef-
hcient in practical service, while those
who stood at the foot of the list failed
later and left the companys service
Professor Munsterberg has also test
ed street car motormen with elaborate
! apparatus with a view to selecting those
least likely to be responsible for acct
dents. AS result of his experiments
/ he came to the significant conclusion
that the application of such a test on
motormen would result in the rejection
: Of about % per cent. Of those now en-
/ ployed.
IS. +. Thompson used reaction time
tests in selecting girls for the work OF
inspecting for flaws in the steel balls
used in ball bearings. The final outcome
was that IS girls did the work formerly
done by 12o; the accuracy OF the work
was increased by &C per cent; the girls
wages were doubled, the working day de-
creased from ten and one-half hours to
eight and one-halt hours and the profits
OF the factory increased.
Another set of psychological tests
aims to select positions for persons rather
than persons for positions, but not much
has been really done in this field The
difficulties in the way OF both kinds OF
tests may be inferred from the fact that
there are something like 1900 separate
kinds OF ganful occupations in the United
/ States"
| DR.. Ayres sees great possibilities in
psychological tests for choosing the RICH,
persons for jobs. He adds:
when the best possible adjustment
shall have been attained between work
and workman each one will have his full
opportunity to achieve at least some
thing for commonwealth and common
! veal. The task Of the world will be bet
ter done and the workers will receiv,
greater rewards. deeper joy and fuller
satisfaction in their doing"
