McM Students Take
Personality Tests
Personality tests were given to
the Education 447 (guidance) class
Tuesday March 29. "The purpose
of the tests was to show how such
tests are used to help students
and employees to adjust them-
selves to work and study" said
Mrs. Anna Bonds Odell associate
professor of education who is ad
ministering the tests.
"The tests deal with two major
functions which are broken down
into specific factors. There are 180
questions and all pertain to the
social and self-adjustment of the
individual" Mrs. Odell said Tues-
day. The tests were given on the stu-
dents' consent according to Mrs.
Odell.
"Other tests such as the Kuder
interest-aehlevment and the Bern-
ruter personality are open to any
and all students desiring to take
them. In fact the students are
encouraged to take them for their
own benefit" Mrs. Odell said.
lutlons concerning various aspects
of education were made and one
resolution proclaimed the inade-
quacy of the "ivory-tower" con-
rept of education. The resolution
read In part: "We recognize that
the instruction given and the at-
mosphere maintained on our re-
spective campuses must be realis-
tic but sound in fundamentals and
definite in the emphasis upon dem-
ocratic ami religious life as op-
posid to the communistic and athc-
ist'c concepts. Positive construc-
tive ideas' have by experience been
demonstrated to be the best anti-
dote for and weapons against nega-
tive and destructive doctrines."
