Abstract
A short battery of tests consisting of the Eysenck Personality Inventory, a test of clerical aptitude and a coding test was given to a group of 100 young female card‐punch operators during their first day in training. Test results were related to supervisors' ratings of output made at the end of each month of a three‐month training period. There were significant negative correlations between extraversion and output ratings during the first two stages of training (r = −0·29, P < 001; r = −0·33, P < 001), but the relationship at the third stage fell short of significance. Neuroticism and coding scores were not related to training performance, but clerical aptitude became significant during the last month.
