Synopsis
Excerpt from Army Mental Tests
The book has been prepared under the editorial direction of Majors Clarence S. Yoakum and Robert M. Yerkes, who, in cooperation with other members of the psychological staff of the Surgeon General's Office, selected the various materials and decided about the mode of presentation. The editors are re sponsible for the material of certain of the chapters, and they have indicated the responsibility of others wherever possible.
It has been arranged that the royalty from Army Mental Tests shall be paid to the treasurer of the National Research Council for the support of psychological research.
The instructions originally printed in the Examiner's Guide for the stanford-binet scale and the Point Scale have been omitted from this volume because of copyright restrictions, but these materials are available in books previously published.
A detailed and complete account of the methods and results of psychological examining in the Army is in course of publica tion in the Memoirs of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive guide to the groundbreaking psychological testing methods that proved to be an essential tool for the US Army in both world wars. Developed by a committee of leading psychologists in 1917, these methods enabled the Army to quickly assess a recruit's cognitive abilities and literacy, helping to identify those most suited for specific roles and those requiring additional support or discharge. The author delves into the origins, development, and validation of these tests, providing insights into their scientific rigor and practical applications. The book highlights the positive impact of psychological testing on military efficiency, allowing the Army to optimize personnel placement and training while minimizing attrition due to mental unfitness.
