Description:

The United States Employment Service of the Department of Labor developed tests for a variety of job skills. This is one of them, designed to test number writing. Examinees were to copy fifty numbered numbers listed on one side of a piece of paper into numbered blank spaces on the other. A mark at the top of the test reads: C9. The test would be adopted by the War Manpower Commission for classifying civilian employees during World War II.
