notes: label: Description
content: In 1928, the University of Michigan resolved to establish a department of psychology, independent of philosophy. In part toward that end, they hired Edward Barrows Greene, a 1918 graduate of Amherst College who received his PhD. from Columbia University that year. Greene (1895-1981) was much interested in testing and clinical psychology. In 1939, he published this test of vocabulary for use in vocational counseling and selection for employment or promotion. It includes vocabulary divided into the eight areas of human relations, commerce, government, physical sciences, biological sciences, mathematics, fine arts, and sports. Two forms were provided – this is form AM. World Book Company published the test. The exam would be revised with a new edition in 1949 (see 1990.0034.165).
