Although the results given in the present volume are based almost entirely on military needs and indicate the success of this service in the army, it has been prepared in the hope that it may suggest possible uses of similar methods in education and industry. Contents: Making the tests; Methods and results; The examiner’s guide for psychological examining in the army—Directions for giving the army mental tests; Army tests in the Students’ army training corps and colleges; Practical applications; Army test record blanks and forms.
