Measure Your Mind: The Mentimeter and How to Use It

"Measure Your Mind: The Mentimeter and How to Use It" by Marion Rex Trabue is a study from the early 1900s about scientifically finding out how smart people are using tools called Mentimeter tests to find the smartest people for schools and work. The book wants to explain how we can understand and test intelligence in a good way, so teachers, bosses, and even people themselves can get better. The beginning says measuring people's abilities is just as important as checking machines to make sure they work right. Trabue says that for a long time, people just guessed who would be good for jobs, but now we have real ways to test their minds. He also talks about why we need to have the same standards and how tests can put people into groups based on how smart they are. The book shows that the way we choose people now isn't very good and that the Mentimeter tests are important to help us match people with the right jobs.
