EMPLOYMENT PSYCHOLOGY 156 will restore his confidence in himself. If it is pleasant and interesting, it will put him at ease. This method is better than the conversational method; for the process of setting a person at ease through the me dium of words is an exceedingly delicate one. The slight est sharpness or abruptness in the examiner’s tones may only serve to increase the nervousness of the subject. Consequently, while it is desirable that the examiner should keep up a current of cheerful and more or less irrelevant talk, the less strenuous his efforts in this respect are, the better. He should rely upon his conversation only to cover up awkward pauses and to make clear his directions. The tests chosen to serve as shock-absorbers will vary widely with the nature of the other tests which are to follow. No one test or set of tests can be prescribed as ideal shock-absorbers. For every type of examination, the preliminary test must be selected on the basis of long experience and many trials. In the experiments described here, certain tests have been selected for this purpose. For example, the shock-absorber given to inspectors is the manual-dexterity test. This test is also given to ma chine operators for the same purpose. In fact, a simple form-board test of some kind is one of the best tests for this general purpose. Besides being easily understood, it requires almost no directions and no technical ability* One of the best form-board tests for this purpose is the pictorial completion test, a colored picture with various details cut out. The picture must be completed by re storing the cut-outs to their proper places. This test is both extremely interesting and funny. It usually puts the subject in a very good humor. For clerks, stenographers, assemblers, and higher classes of workers, this test has proved a very successful shock-absorber.
