By Frederic J.
V
Until very recently psychology has
been looked* upon by the public as an
abstract science with no practical
bearing upon the real work of life!
It has been of interest only to educators,
and the members of a few other
professions. Now it is being applied
to almost every industry and calling,
while new . possibilities for its use
are being"developed daily.
Within the last six months a large
street car company, a steel corporation,
an automobile factory and a
number of bfg department stores have
added a consulting psychologist to
their staffs of . assistants. Already
practical results have demonstrated
the success of tdie innovation.
This practical psychology is designated
as psychotechnology. Psychology
teaches what mental attitude will
bring certain 'results, but technical
knowledge is required to know what
results are desirable and how they
are to be applied. For example, physical
.labor consists of movements of
various kinds, it is usually a repetition
of the same motion of a group
of,connected motions. The control of
these muscular movements is psychological
problem involving such conditions
as rhythm, fatigue and interest.
Their motions must be learned and
the psyphotechnologlst knows the
most efficient method of teaching them
by adjusting the mental peculiarities
of the individual to the conditions of
the work.
Most street car accidents occur because
the motoriuen lack certain mental
.qualities. It is no longer sufficient
for a motorman to be sober, honest
and. capable of caring for the iiia?
chinery of his car. He must also possess
a certain physic'foresight which
will enable him to foresee danger and
to act quickly, in a crisis. Accidents
are often due to mistakes of unskilled
-chauffeurs, or of confused pedes-J
I trians who obst ruct the course of the
street car.* aoiiie motortneoi almost
always avoid such accidents because
they, possess a peculiar mental. characteristic
which seems to warn them
of what the other fellow is gojnfe to
do . Power quick decision is also required.
"When a child is seen crossing
the track .in front of the moving
car, it is only the quick decision of
the inotorman that can save its life.
A method of tests to determine whether
men have these qualities has b/en
devised. Within a few years, every
street car company in -the country
will make use. of these psychological
tests in the selection of its employees.
Several years before, the Titanic disaster,.
the captain of a large steamboat
suggested to the head of the psychological
laboratory of Harvard university
the need of some mental or
psychic tests which would liable
At * t_ i _ c J t i A.: a
muse respuusiuit iur uie ariuciiuu <ji
[ I officers to judge how they would be'
have in an emergency. Such tests
have now been devised, and it is Are1
roved that they wilt determine with
reasonable accuracy whether an offic...
or may be depended .upon to keep his
, head "in face of a crisis such as aVrol;
lision with an iceberg, or whether
!be will become paic stricken.
The best feature of these tests is
that the men taking tliem enter dnto
! the spirit of them. They become in!
lerested, themselves, in determining
| whether or not" they are psychologically
qualified for the calling to
I which circumstances or their own in{clination
directs them.
! The psychotechnologist decides
. i.'what mental characteristics are *et
quired to secure the highest efficiency
i in the performance of every task. The
(increased efficiency not only benefits
I the employer; "but each worker,' Who,
< though being assigned the work for
i which nature has best fitted him, is
enabled to do it with least fatigue and
1 greatest pleasure. In a large factory
iuwas noted that" some of- the men
who. .were earnest, industrious ploas
" ders were unable to "keep in mind a
' number of subjects. Having the ability
to concentrate upon a, single detail,
they were invaluable as experts to de
vise improvements for that one thing,
t but they were unsuccessful as fore.
men. Another man, having the*/.bili
ity to supervise^ several processes at
. once, made an excellent foreman; al.
though he-lacked the concentration vv
the expert workman,
i The department store- psychologist
has many problems1 calling for an in'
"tirnatc knowledge of the relation of
the individual to every exigency of
business. Such a man began his career
last year by a two week's study
. of the books and" records of the con:
corn. He noted which departments
i were securing the heaviest profits; and
I which fell beTow the required amount.
I He then began to study the people in
eharffp. - "
iHe noted a floorwalker in tli? basement
bargain room who :seemhd to
lose, his 'head completely when.?ur~
!.rounded by a number of 'women; customcrs,
each insisting . upon instant
recognition and service. When'he
should have been -able to give quick
attention-to half a dozen, lie was only
able to courteously 1 ead one woman
at a time to the counter at which,she
made a trifling purchase. "While
painstaking conscientious, he was a
failure, because he lacked a certain
mental quickness of perception and
execution.
This, man was transferred to the
fino -dress goods -department, whicfi
his deferential manner and careful
judgment were adjuncts appreciated
by the women purchasing costly riiaj
terlal. dm alert, curt sort of ..nfari,
| wnosc quick mentality enabled hlnj
j to respond ^readily, "Thev counter to
; your "right, madam." "Infant's wear,
! next aisle," "UnderVeax on your left.*'
! "Second floor for' ready -made cloth"
j'ittg,""alniost without a breath of
pause fitted into the basement salesroom
and straightened out the contusion
which'"' the other man was powl;erless"to
overcome.
; An .attractive young girl at the
mourning goods counter made few
sales! She disliked black goods and
its psychic' effect repressed her natural
vivacity^ She was transferred to
the. ribbon counter in place of an older
woman who was making few ^ales
there. The girl .liked the bright ,hued
ribbon and- her deft fingers . quickly

i well understood. The advertiser who
: prcsenti an attractive picture of a
woman, .seated at the sort of a desk
he has to sell creates in the mind of
. woman readers a mental picture of
herself seated at a similar desk, it
is the psychological influence which
brings here to the store to buy it..
Aluslo has a" psychological effect upon
the efficiency of workers. L'ncontion
of the plant is greatly increased.
A piano is frequently found In a large
cigar factory, and sometimes sln&ers
and other musicians are also introduced.
The music is always fast, as
slow music retards their progress.
In Cuba and in some of the factor-,
ies in Tampa, Fla;f operated by Cuban
cigar workers, a reader or elocutionist
is sometimes employed instead
of a musician. The reader must
(have a clear stroug voice and read
something having an active plot. Under
these conditions the work wiTiprogress
as rapidly as with a musjeal
accompaniment. The increased output
of the factory with either entertainment
pays for-the expense many
times over.
Just how the process of interesting
the mind tends to promote physical
efliciency has no! yet been worked out
'by psychologists. Professor Hugo
' Mfinsterburg,- the head of the Harvard
'psychological laboratory, has said:
i"lt is a popular mistake of the present
industrial system to create a mental
starvation which so presses down
the life of the laborer as to deprive it
of all joy in work and to make the
factory scheme, a,. necessary and regretafale
evil, Other'"conditions? would
bring about a much higher industrial
efficiency."
The psychotcclinologist is constantly
endeavoring to demonstrate that,
whenever an industrious energetic
worker is unsuccessful in one kind of;
work, he can be made efficient some*!
, where else. It is only a matter of fit-j
ting the man to the job. The vyomenj
workers in one department, or a pen-j
cil factory are required to grasp a I
dozen pencils at a time, no more, no
less, during one process of Jfjie manI

able to do this, bill, when they were
transferred to the department where
gold leaf was to be applied To the
pencils, they became very proficient.
The solurjon of the problem of tnc
unemployment, becomes more important
each, i car- Mayor Mitchell of
New York, appointed a committee to
give a psychological test to (he men
who patronized the municipal Iodging?house,
with a view to ascertaining
their industrial possibilities. The]
Binet test, named for the French psychologist
who originated it, was applied
to several hundred.of these men.
Diner's experiments were first made
with children to determine (he developmen
to be expected from children
of ten, twelve and fifteen 'Years ofj
age, and afterwards included adult
tests. ' *
The results of the tests made upon
the unemployed men of <N*ew York
showed that a large proportion of
those who failed in the industrial race
were to a degree defective -in meutalIity,
and therefore not capable of-ihe
highest efficiency. The answers to
some of the questions indicated that
: in many casesahis deficiency bad been
gradually developed by a long experience
of misfit jobs. - |
That efficiency, in every, variety of
occupation, is largely a matter of fit-;
ting the man to the job, is the most
significant fact, which psychotechnology
has proved. -Everywhere in life,
the misfit is the ineffectual, and this
new applied science has a wonderful
work before it in teaching the cor|
rect choice of vocations to the young
j ot the country, and so conserving ef'
ficiency.
