PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY Vocation Ability Is Now Tested. By NewMeans1 Psychology Prof. Greene's Vocabulary Test Iased On ConceptOf Terms Abilities and training for various vocations are tested by a new vo- cabulary examination developed by Prof. Edward B. Greene of the psy- chology department, it was an- nounced recently. This ,test is designed to measure a person's knowledge of basic concepts in various fields by testing his grasp of important terms used in these call- ings. It is known as the Vocabulary Profile test. While psychologists have been in- terested for some time in vocabular- ies, both in the field of general men- tal ability and in vocational success, this new testing method is the first to indicate the range of one's con- cepts in important, independent fields. Further, it allows for more adequate solutions to such questions as: What vocabularies are essen- tial for certain vocations? What is the importance of vocabularies in reading skills? What is the impor- tance of knowledge of a person's vo- cabulary in educational and voca- tional planning? Master lists of over 6,000 words were assembled by Dr. Greene from text books with the help of techni- cians in the fields to be tested. From this list, which included the words most important to work in each field, single words of various degrees of difficulty were selected to be used in the test form. Thirty words were chosen for each field to be covered, care being taken that words in one list were not duplicated in one of the others. Items were classified into eight fields: human relations, commerce, government, physical science, biologi- cal science, mathematics, fine arts and sports. Finally a careful check was made to insure that the tests were not confusing or too vague. Arab Nationalist Leader Arrested Nationalist riots in French-governed Tunisia led to the arrest of Arab Sliman Ben Sliman and sharpened French concern over pro-Italian activity among Moslem Nationalists. A French demand for cessation of Italian anti-French propaganda in Tunisia may be a big point in France-Italy pact talks.
