p i EMPLOYMENT PSYCHOLOGY of more than average intelligence. General observations about her were: Intelligence B B B Rhythm.. Attention Physique. Strong Neat Steady, conscientious. Personal appearance Remarks But here again, the tests showed that she was too slow to make a successful piece-worker, and she was therefore com pelled to remain at day-work at which her average wage was considerably below her needs. This worker, who was twenty-nine years old, was very much worried over her inability to make good; and yet, it is altogether likely that she would have been very successful at some other kind of work. Another conspicuous instance was that of a girl, seven teen years old, who had been at work only a few weeks when she was examined. The instructor assured the experimenter that this girl was learning very rapidly and would soon be at piece-work. The experimenter put down as his observations: Intelligence B Attention B Physique Slender, healthy Personal appearance Neat, attractive Remarks Clean movements. However, in each of the three significant tests, this girl was decidedly poor. She has since demonstrated that she will not make a successful piece-worker. Like many others, this girl, would not have been hired for inspection if the employment office had had the use of these tests at that time.
