Ordnance Men Score High
In Intelligence Examinations

Building 900 is the center of a line
of new and interesting activities for
Camp Hancock. It is the headquarters
Of he Psychological Examining Board
which at the present time consists of
one officer, Lieut. ]. B. Morgan, and
20 enlisted men. The commissioned
staff for this work will soon be in
creased however by the arrival OF men
who are now in training for this special
work at Camp Greenleaf, Fort Ogle-
thorpe, Ga.
This work was begun but month
ago and already over 5000 men have
been given the psychological examina-
ton and their grades reported to the
commanding officers
The examinations are given to groups
Of about 60 or 80. AS they enter the
examining room they are furnished
with q pencil and a piece of beaver
board which they use as a writing pad
The place where each man is to sit is
marked by a painted spot and as they
enter he is ordered to stand on one of
these spots. Eight page examination
booklets are then passed out, after
which the men seat themselves on the
floor. All the men are required to

hold their pencils in the air while the
examiner gives the instructions and at
the word go" they all fall to work with
vim till they are ordered to stop;
whereupon they all raise their pencils
again till the instructions for the next
test are given
Heretofore when an officer was given
a group of men he had to learn what
he could OF their intelligence by trying
them at different tasks, a very slow
and uncertain process Now as soon
as the men come into camp they are
given the psychological examination
and the commanding officer furnished
with an intelligence grade on all his
men. The personnel officer also gets
the grades of all the men and so is
helped in his selection of men for diff
ferent particular jobs.
The Ordnance men now at Camp
Hancock have made a much better
showing in these examinations than the
ordinary run OF enlisted men. On the
average the proportion of "a" grade
is twice as large as that of any or
binary company and in one company
the proportion of "a" grade men was
nine times as large as that Of an orr
binary company.
