PART I PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS The practical possibilities of psychological tests are now generally conceded, both by the professional psychologist and the industrial layman. Thus far, however, the applications of these tests to industry, particularly in respect to employment, have been fragmentary and in tangible. Before industrial leaders will commit them selves to any definite psychological program they de mand a concrete account of the tangible results arising from a thorough and comprehensive application of psy chological tests to typical industrial problems. Part I is devoted largely to such an account. It de scribes the results obtained from the application of psy chological tests to employment problems under typical industrial conditions. Moreover, it describes the method by which these results were obtained. Results in them selves are of little value unless they are secured by a method which will produce similar results when applied elsewhere. For that reason special pains are taken to make clear the steps by which the results were reached. The psychologist not familiar with shop and office con ditions will find these steps very valuable when he at tempts to make his own applications to industrial prob lems. The industrial layman who is not familiar with the exact methods of psychology will find them a prac tical guide in estimating the value of attempts made to install psychological methods in his special domain. 3
