Industrial test norms for a southern plant population

Abstract

Believing that national test norms are not as valuable as local norms, or norms based on a population similar to the one being tested, the authors present area norms for several tests. Male and female, southern, adult white applicants for office and plant work were given the following tests (from the results of which the norms were derived): Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test Form AA, Revised Beta Examination, Hand-Tool Dexterity Test, Minnesota Vocational Test for Clerical Workers.
