content: Between 1924 and 1927, Mark A. May and the Reverend Hugh Hartshorne conducted the Character Education Inquiry under the direction of E.L. Thorndike. This resulted in three volumes on the empirical nature of moral behavior among school children. This set of sheets includes typescripts and drafts of tests and papers relating to the Character Education Inquiry. Specifically, there are lists of traits; a “moral judgment” test; a “wish test”; a “satisfaction or pleasure test”; a test that asked the test-taker to rank the appropriateness of the offense to the punishment; a “temptation test”; a “list of attitudes in attitudes test”; lists that ask the test-taker about their preferences; a schedule for a day of games and tests for children; a list of stories for the test-taker to evaluate; a scheme for “testing the results of religious and moral instruction”; for “possible tests of impression or attitudes control”; test forms; a “paper and pencil” test of “likes and dislikes”; questions about etiquette and good manners; questions related to the accuracy of grouping different items in classes; a cheating scale; data and computations; drafts; and information on instincts and impulses.
