Abstract

Group tests of mental ability are used far more extensively than individual tests in selection and classification procedures where large numbers of individuals are concerned. Historically, group testing was developed in America during the time of the First World War, in 1917, to meet the practical demands of selection and classification of the overwhelming number of recruits. One of the first men to experiment with these group measurement techniques was Arthur S . Otis.
