Abstract

been devised to try to overcome the difficulties which have been experienced with the individual interview. While it undoubtedly was used in many situations before the war, it achieved its widest use during the war years in British Army officer selection and in selection by the Office of Strategic Services in the United States. Since the war it has obtained wide acceptance in British industry and government and in some of the British Dominions. As a result of observing this method as used by O.S.S. and of hearing a description by a former member of the British Army of its use in England, the present writer described this test and attempted to systematize it in an article which appeared in 1946 (3). Subsequently, this method was widely adopted by various governmental units in the United States, including the civil service commissions and personnel boards of the States of New York, Colorado, Washington and New Jersey, and also the New York City and Los Angeles Boards of Education. Recently, it has been used by a number of companies, including the Mutual Life Insurance Company, Procter and Gamble Company, and the Burroughs Adding Machine Company (1). The group oral performance
