Vocational
Tests Set Tuesday
Vocational Interests Tests will
be given beginning Tuesday Dr.
Hoyt Ford 'director of testing
announced today.
The tests will be given at va-
rious hours for a week or ten
days as long as interest demands.
They are for all students but
freshmen and sophomores are es-
pecially urged to take them Dr.
Ford stated.
Schedules will be posted Tues-
day and students may sign up
for the hours desired. Approxi-
mately two hours is required for
each test.
"The thing I should like to
stress is the importance of the
student's knowing what he is
really interested in before he
makes too final a vocational
choice" stated Dr. Ford. "These
are tests of interest and not of
aptitude. They are primarily for
those uncertain as to their voca-
tional choice."
The tests show comparative in-
terests in nine or ten different
fields such as musical scientific
mechanical persuasive and so-
cial service. Through these tests
one can determine the occupation
for which he is best suited.
