Each method is thoroughly analyzed, with step-by-step guidance on their construction and implementation. The author emphasizes the importance of carefully defining the skills and knowledge to be measured, as well as the need for standardized scoring procedures to ensure consistency and fairness.

Excerpt from Trade Tests: The Scientific Measurement of Trade Proficiency

There is a universal demand for increased production; a more economical use of material and man power is the only way in which the world can be rapidly restored to a normal condition. It is obvious to all that greater economy in the use and adaptation of material resources is greatly needed, but it is by no means so clearly recognized that the human resources of the country, and indeed of the world, must be equally hus banded. Depleted man-power is the sad aftermath of war. Although this country has not suffered great losses on the field of battle, although the number of our skilled men has not been lowered appreciably, there is no doubt that, as time advances, reduced immigration will cause inconvenient labor shortage. N 0 industry can afford, at the present juncture, to overlook any device or method which gives promise of more scientific selection, placement and training of its employees.
