Psychological Test Score Sheet, Sims Sci Occupational Rating Scale
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 Sims SCI [Social Class Identifier] occupational rating scale was a single-sheet published by the World Book Company and copyrighted in 1952. This is the Scale of Form A. It lists forty-two different occupations and asks the test-taker to describe whether the people in the occupation “generally belong” in the same, a higher, or a lower social class as the test-taker and the test-taker’s family. For further context, see Sims SCI Occupational Rating Scale: Manual of Directions (1983.0168.28).
