- Title
An Evolving Technique for Appraising Interpersonal Effectiveness.
- Authors

- Abstract
Dynamic elements have been most conspicuously lacking in measurements of ability; yet, in the larger, practical abilities of life, dynamic elements of various kinds are of the greatest importance. Attempts to assess the dynamic aspects of ability—of large abilities in action in social settings—became prominent during the last world war, notably in the selection program of OSS. For measurement or evaluation to succeed in the social field, dynamic aspects must become the center of attention. The present article applies this conception to the selection of certain graduate students. The same ideas, with appropriate adaptations, might well be applied more widely to selection of workers in all situations where interpersonal effectivness is a primary requirement. Dr. Wilson is the program adviser of the guidance training program for Queens College. Dr. Robbins teaches evaluation and research. The style which the authors hvae used permits the reader to feel he is almost an eye witness to this developing procedure.
