Abstract

Two groups of subjects representing extremes in adjustment in a camp devoted to instruction for industrial occupations were given a battery of tests representing different levels of complexity and personality organization. The tests were concerned with reactions to stress situations.

Most of the tests were found to differentiate the extremes in the range of adjustment. A composite profile was derived from these tests which showed a good degree of correspondence with the actual adjustment level in the camp as determined by the rating sheets of the instructors. With some modifications, these tests should be suitable for practical application as selection devices.
