content: During World War I, psychologist Robert S. Woodworth (1869-1962) of Columbia University developed this personal data sheet, or test of personality, to be used to screen recruits and weed out those susceptible to shell shock. The test was not given to large numbers of soldiers, but was the forerunner other tests. This version, dated in pencil 1917, was issued by the Neuropsychiatric Service at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C. It has about 125 questions, each to be answered with a yes or no, and is aimed at men.
