Aptitudes versus attitudes in vocational guidance

Abstract

"This paper has attempted to point out the exceedingly complicated problems confronting psychologists in developing a science of vocational guidance; and to emphasize that such factors as morale, interest, and purpose are among the most important, if not the most important, of all considerations. We must learn how to measure such factors if we are ever to attempt to advise and guide. More important still, we must learn how to develop and strengthen proper motives, under the inspiration of which the individual will be energized to his maximum performance."
