Abstract:

This book has developed from the material presented in a course on "Psychological Tests in Vocational Guidance and Selection" which the writer was invited to conduct in Teachers' College, Columbia University. The book is essentially a presentation of the problems and methods of that branch of applied psychology which deals with individual differences in mental constitution. In the present instance only those differences are considered which may seem to be significant in determining the individual's choice of a vocation, or in influencing the selection of workers from among a group of applicants or candidates.

In the present volume Professor Hollingworth makes a distinctive and notable contribution to applied psychology: determining the qualities of men with reference to their fitness for the work of the world. Central in interest and promise stands the psychological test. Professor Hollingworth presents the results of such testing, both in relation to the variety of human traits and in the grading of individuals by reference to the measure of the quality which each possesses.
