A FIRST EXPERIMENT 35 Correlations Tests Inspectors Gaugers Card sorting 55 •OS lapping 14 •52 Cancellation 63 • 17 General intelligence 14 .18 Number group checking 72 -.19 It so happens that the very test which shows the highest correlation among inspectors shows the lowest correlation, a minus correlation, in fact, among the gaugers. This is quite in accord with the apparent fact that for the work °f inspection visual discrimination is probably the quality least necessary. An interesting fact was the absence of correlation between the test for intelligence involving the ability to read and follow easy directions, and the work °f both inspecting and gauging. This indicated that in telligence of this kind was not necessary for success at such work and this, so far as ordinary observation could tell, was quite true. The only test which shows a sig nificant correlation among gaugers is the tapping test. ms seems reasonable since, in both the test and the oper ation of gauging, speed of movement and endurance are the chief factors. The significance of this part of the experiment is therefore chiefly negative since it serves to bring out the fact that girls who, to the ordinary ob server and even to the trained employment manager, look Ver y much alike may still possess very different sets of qualifications. If all the gaugers and inspectors had been ln ed up before the employment window, it is highly im- P r obable that the employment manager would have been ^ule by mere observation to make the radical division etween the applicants which the tests would have enabled lm to make.
