- Description
- During World War II, as in World War I, the U.S. Army turned to psychologists to develop tests for sorting personnel. The National Research Council Appointed a Committee on the Classification of Personnel chaired by Walter V. Bingham. These documents are the manual and score sheet for one test developed under the direction of that committee, as a substitute for the Army General Classification Test. The test is called the Army Individual Test. As the title suggests, it was given to individuals. It had six sections. The three verbal tests were on Similarities-Differences, Story Memory, and Digit Span. It also had three performance tests on Trail Making, Block Assembly, and Shoulder Patches.
