520    "This volume attempts to present not only a definitive 
       account of one aspect of a vast project in vocational-test
       development, but also a useful record of the experiences 
       gained in the execution of that project. To the extent 
       that it succeeds, it will be of value not only to aviation
       psychologists who carry on in the service of military or 
       civilian authorities, but also to vocational psychologists
       in general. While the tone of the volume is pitched to the
       ear of the professional psychologist, an attempt has been 
       made to avoid the more technical jargon of the more 
       specialized statistically minded. By confining himself to 
       the less technical passages, the lay reader may find much 
       that is illuminating and interesting concerning tests and 
       test methods. Although there was no attempt, in the 
       program to be described, to follow any preconceived ideal 
       procedure of test development, inherent in this account is
       an emerging pattern of research, which, utilizing many of 
       the techniques of the past, suggests what such a program 
       can be when liberal support, in the form of trained 
       personnel, suitable equipment, and an almost unlimited 
       number of experimental subjects, is provided. Well-known 
       test theories, and past experiences in their application, 
       were brought to bear upon the problems of vocational 
       selection and classification in a rather special area, 
       though it was an area of enormous scope from a 
       psychological standpoint. While the theoretical problem 
       and the empirical test of a procedure always had to be 
       subordinated to the fulfillment of a pressing practical 
       goal, there is, nevertheless, many a finding that 
       transcends the immediate problem and its solution. The 
       best example of this was the utilization of factorial 
       theory and methods. Factorial analysis, brought into use 
       somewhat incidentally at first, became eventually the 
       centralizing and guiding principle in connection with most
       printed-test development. It must be admitted that the 
       factorial studies were neither as well planned nor as well
       executed as they would have been in a program that had 
       centered around them from the very beginning. Only near 
       the end of the four years' research did their full 
       benefits become apparent. Rather unique to vocational-test
       research, also, is the inclusion of analysis of job 
       criteria by the factorial method. It is believed that in 
       this direction lies an economical, systematic, and 
       dependable procedure for coverage of aptitudes and for 
       fitting tests to vocations. In the presentation of results,
       efforts have been made to facilitate perusal of the 
       chapters by the reader by means of a uniform type of 
       description of tests"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record
