Personality-Completely Measured and Recorded a Plan and a Record Blank

Abstract

The complete measurement of personality is obviously the first step to the solving of many vexing human problems. The school, were it able to measure its pupils completely, could abandon the mechanical rule of “Take them at six and shake them at sixteen.” Instead, it could receive them when they were ready to learn and graduate them when they were ready to earn, whatever their calendar age. Personnel officers could with confidence select future workmen, foremen, salesmen, researchers and managers. We could even tell when the individual supreme court judge, president, senator, congressman, and so on, should retire, be he forty or ninety.
