Another book on mental tests, of which there seems to be no end. Human ingenuity has been stressed during the past few years to invent ever new ones, and for each person who invents a test no doubt that particular test gives to him a maximum of information about the individual being tested. The author of this book has developed his own tests, describes them in detail, and gives their application and results. Many men have devised many tests and on the whole a great deal of work has been done with them in helping classify individuals in a rough sort of way. The psychoanalyst of course has always felt that tests did not take sufficient note of the emotional side of life, but that is no reason why the general good results which undoubtedly accrue from their use should not be fully appreciated. The individualistic work of the psychoanalyst of course could not be repeated with very large groups and the efforts to devise tests which will give information when applied in this way is an effort in the right direction and one which as the years pass is found to produce ever better results. Each such book as this, therefore, is a welcome contibution to this effort.
