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 Stanford Achievement Test was written by Truman L. Kelley, Giles M. Ruch, and Lewis M. Terman. This version is the primary battery: form D. It was published by the World Book Company and was copyrighted in 1940. The test included questions about: paragraph meaning, word meaning, spelling, arithmetic reasoning, and arithmetic computation. It appears to be a more basic version of the Advanced Battery-Complete Form D. It is eight pages long.
