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 American Council on Education Psychological Examination for High School Students was prepared by L.L. Thurstone and Thelma Gwinn Thurstone, and was copyrighted by the American Council on Education in 1942. This test is the 1942 edition. It is twelve pages long and contains Ruth E. Myer’s name in the upper right-hand corner. The test evaluates the test-taker on “Same-Opposite,” “Completion,” “arithmetic,” and “number series.”
