THE SCOPE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS I99 discover and measure the ethical and emotional qualities it is obvious that they do not provide an infallible method for selecting the right man for the right place. In the absence of knowledge about certain of an individual’s most important characteristics, no reliable deductions can be made about that individual’s future, or his desirability for a certain kind of work. This is, indeed, a serious short coming, and one which gravely limits the usefulness of psychological tests. However, it must be remembered that all other methods are equally helpless in the face of this difficulty, even while not admitting it, and that the psychologist has at least the advantage of recognizing the intricacies which the problem presents. The limitations of psychological tests as applied to the individual having been recognized, wherein does the real value and scope of these tests lie? Briefly, in their ability to discover the presence and measure the extent of the specific abilities or faculties which an individual possesses. This knowledge makes it possible to select from a group of applicants those who possess at least one of the two fundamental requisites for success; namely, ability to do the work of a given job. Aside from all moral qualifica tions, every job requires a minimum of ability or intelli gence. Those who possess the necessary moral qualities are not fitted for a job unless they possess also the neces sary mental qualities, the necessary ability or technique. On the other hand, those who possess the required ability but not the right moral traits are equally unfitted for the Job in question. Those who possess neither ability nor character are least of all fitted, while those who possess both are of course best fitted. We may show the four possible combinations of these two fundamental elements by means of the following table:
