. EMPLOYMENT PSYCHOLOGY research work on the vocation in question so that he can use positive findings and avoid whatever proved worthless. Published studies of this sort are to be found in psychologi- cal journals, trade magazines, volumes of research, and in miscellaneous publications, reference to which may be found in bibliographies. His acquaintance with other research workers often enables the investigator to learn of results obtained in unpublished studies. General test publications. These need not relate to the vocation under study but may cover the general field of tests and their evaluation. No matter how well acquainted he is with the field of psychological tests in general, a review of the literature will assure the investigator that he has not overlooked any applicable tests. Since psychological tests are an outgrowth of standard laboratory experiments in psychology, it will repay effort to refer to some of the laboratory manuals. Among these are Titchener (200), Myers (122), Sanford (161), Lang- feld and Allport (100), Schultze (163), and Scripture (167), as well as numerous untranslated German volumes. Manuals of psychological tests constitute a second source of information. Some of the best known are those of Whip- ple (220), Franz (54), Woodworth and Wells (225), Dewey, Child, and Ruml (44), Pintner and Paterson (139), Giese (61), Downey (48), Ballard (35), Terman (185), Burt (22), Trabue and Stockbridge (205), Stern (174), and Lipmann (103). Considerable test material may also be found in Link (ror), Burtt (23), and Partridge (127), and in the report on “Psychological Examining in the United States Army” (228). A number of volumes on educational measurements and some of the studies published in the Psychological Monographs and the Archives of Psychology contain valuable test material. Material may also be found in the catalogs of the C. H. Stoelting Company (Chicago), World Book Company (Yonkers), and E. Zimmermann (Leipzig and Berlin). 24
