content: During the 1920s American psychologists proposed a wide range of tests for use by employers and educators, including examinations for aptitude for various occupations. George Washington University psychology professors Fred August Moss (1893-1966) and Thelma Hunt (1903-1992) prepared this test with Katharine T. Omwake (1902-1993), who had received her undergraduate (1924), masters (1925) and doctorate (1928) from George Washington and was on the faculty at Agnes Scott College in Georgia.
