The format of the interview is described as well as the rating process and the procedure for obtaining the data. An interesting example is presented which shows how the structure of the group changes during the interviewing process. The stresses on the interviewers as well as the interviewees are considered. The interviewers developed a routine they called "projective questions" in which the applicant was asked to associate to a Bible story or a Shakespearean play or a childhood fairy story. Comparisons between the one-to-one interview situation and that of the group interview are made; the advantages of the latter are stressed from a psychoanalytic viewpoint.
