content: In the mid-1920s, George D. Stoddard (1897-1981), a psychologist at the University of Iowa, and Merton L. Ferson (1876 - 1964), dean at North Carolina and then at Cincinnati, collaborated on a test for applicants to law school. Slightly later, Yale University developed a test for admissions to its law school. This is an example of the third edition of Stoddard and Ferson’s test.
