EMPLOYMENT PSYCHOLOGY I70 As has been explained in the opening chapter, science con sists of the application of an exact and refined method to the study of the facts, in order to produce knowledge which shall be: first, knowledge which is free from the inaccu racies and prejudices of the unguided human faculties; and secondly, knowledge which is standard; that is, knowledge which can be transmitted in unambiguous and indisputable terms from one person or time to another. Psychology is the science which attempts to apply this method to the facts of human nature. To be sure, there are loopholes in the technique which has been described and illustrated in the preceding chapters. This, however, can be said of any science. There is no science, not even the most exact, from which the errors due to the human equation can be entirely eliminated. However, the technique de scribed in this and in other books on psychology are ample proof of the care with which the scientific method is being applied where only home remedies were used before.
