Analyzing Character / The New Science of Judging Men; Misfits in Business, the Home and Social Life

The authors present a practical system for evaluating personality and physical traits to improve vocational fit, reduce workplace misfits, and guide career choice. They examine root causes of poor placement, outline bodily and temperamental types and their likely aptitudes, and discuss special forms of unfitness including gendered considerations. A second section applies the analysis to hiring, executive selection, and workplace conditions, proposing remedies and measures of success. A third part treats persuasive techniques for gaining attention, arousing interest, and securing action. The work closes with principles, methods for learning the system, and an appendix of vocational requirements.
