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 Personality Inventory was written by Robert G. Bernreuter (1901-1995) and was published by Stanford University Press. Ruth E. Myer’s name appears in the upper right-hand corner of the first page. The test booklet is four pages long and contains 125 yes or no questions. The directions tell the test-taker that the questions, “are intended to indicate your interests and attitudes.”
