Improving the selection of linotype trainees

Abstract

A battery of tests consisting of the Army Alpha, Kuder Preference Record, Minnesota Clerical, MacQuarrie Mechanical, and Revised Minnesota Paper Form Board was administered to 29 veterans in a linotype school. Although the Army Alpha yielded the highest correlation with the criterion (.62), it overlapped with several of the other tests. The MacQuarrie and the Minnesota Clerical seemed to be the most useful tests for a shorter battery. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
