34 EMPLOYMENT PSYCHOLOGY Because of the nature of the eye test, only individual correspondences could be shown. Some of these will be mentioned later. It was plainly evident, however, that an inspector needed two very good eyes in order to succeed at this work. From the above figures, it can be seen that three tests show a correlation which is really significant. Two of these show a correlation of over .60 which is very good, and one shows a correlation of .56 which is also quite good. The significance of these correlations will be more ap parent if we compare them with those brought out by another section of this experiment. Besides giving the tests to girls engaged in visual inspection, the same tests were given to twenty-one girls engaged in gauging the head-thickness of shells. This work does not require the use of the eyes. The operator simply picks up a handful of shells and, with or without looking, tries the head of each shell on a gauge. The gauge is a piece of steel with two notches or openings. The shells which are too small pass through the first opening and fall into a box of re jects below. Those that do not pass through are tried on the second opening and, if they pass through, they are of the right size. If they fail to pass through, they are too large and are thrown aside. The operator sits in front of her gauge which is rigidly fixed, and tries each shell at one opening and then at another, just as rapidly as she can move her hands up and down. It will readily be seen that this work requires qualities quite different from those required by the girls engaged in the work of inspecting. This difference was admirably brought out by the tests. The tests showed, in this instance, an entirely different set of correlations. The correlations found in both in stances are given below.
