Usage conditions apply
- Description
- After their widespread use during World War One, experts increasingly used psychological tests as a tool to rank and sort people in contexts including (but not limited to) education and employment. The Michigan Vocabulary Profile Test (Form AM) was prepared by Edward B. Greene (Lecturer in Psychology, University of Michigan). It was published by the World Book Company and copyrighted in 1939 and 1949. The first page provides instructions. The test includes sections on: human relations, commerce, government, physical sciences, biological sciences, mathematics, fine arts, and sports. It is six pages long. The final page is an answer sheet that includes sections on norms for high school students, college students, and “adult males.”
