Description
Summary:Replies to Woodrow's comments on "The So-called 'General Character Test'" . Psychology is greatly handicapped when forced to use terms which carry vague and ambiguous meaning. In so far as the writers are aware, this proposition is quite generally conceded. Specifically, the writers have sought in their earlier paper to condemn this practice in so far as it relates to the measurement of 'general character.' Professor Woodrow's reply to that paper indicates that the writers may have failed to make their point as clear as might be desired. It is hoped that this paper will summarize with sufficient succinctness the point of view of the writers to leave no question of their position.
