notes: label: Description
content: After their widespread use during World War One, experts increasingly used psychological tests as a tool to rank and sort people in contexts including (but not limited to) education and employment. The Henmon-Nelson Tests of Mental Ability were written by V.A.C. Henmon (the Chairman of the Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin) and M.J. Nelson (a Ph.D. and Dean of the Faculty at Iowa State Teachers College). The test was published by Houghton Mifflin Company and appears to be a part of the Clapp- Young Self-Marking Tests collection (edited by Frank L. Clapp, a Professor of Education at the University of Wisconsin). It was intended for use in grades seven through twelve. Ruth E. Myer’s name is in the upper right hand corner and the test contains markings. The test includes ninety questions and is four pages long.
