Abstract

TWO papers on the psychological procedures in the selection of factory operatives were read to Section J(Phychology) of the British Association, at the recent meeting in Newcastle upon Tyne. The first paper, by W. S. Porteous, chief industrialist phychologist to Rowntree and Co., Ltd., described procedures employed, and discussed the administrative difficulties met with, in running a selection programme in a large industrial organisation. The second paper, by R. F. Garside, one time research psychologist and statistician to Rowntree and Co., Ltd., and now at the University of Durham, described the statistical techniques employed in establishing a reliable procedure, examining the relationship of its component parts and determining their validity for selection purposes.
