A factorial study of dexterity tests

Abstract

"The advent of the transistor and other industrial operations involving very small items brings a need for a better understanding of very fine manipulative work." 100 students were given 15 tests to take. Thurstone's centroid method was used for the analysis. "The identified factors include neither the tweezer dexterity favor hypothesized, nor the separate finger dexterity factor found in previous studies with the same tests."
