Academic and Historical Perspectives in Psychology History and International Relations Cognitive Abilities and Testing

Abstract

The participation of psychologists in World War I, especially through the mental testing of the Army, brought national publicity and recognition to the struggling young discipline. But while the war had contributed significantly to psychology, the practical contributions of psychologists to the fighting efficiency of the Army, as well as the scientific results emerging from the mountain of test data, turn out on closer examination to be rather equivocal.
