| Description | Report titled 'Memorandum on the Use of Group Tests for Vocational Selection.' (no. 5) by Philip E. Vernon.
The report discusses the use of Selection Test A in trainees in various locations. The Test has been designed to measure multiple aspects of performance, including verbal ability and general intelligence. The sections of the test are presented, alongside percentages of passes. The first section measures ability to follow directions, consisting of complex task-centred questions. The next section is a Reversal and Mirror test. Following is a general information test and vocabulary evaluation. The paper then engages in a detailed discussion of the validity of the tests. |
