Abstract |
The author gathered his information through contacts with German applied psychologists. He describes in some detail the testing of foreign workers and its results, as well as the management of foreign workers. The approach of German psychologists was more clinical than psychometric. It was found that foreign workers were generally considered satisfactory in their output of labor. The conclusion is made that the same set of psychological principles holds true in a totalitarian state as it does in a free society. Statistical tables show (1) Estimated rank order of general ability of European nationals based on testing and other experience; (2) Classification for industrial employment of seven groups of Eastern workers; (3) Results from Bombing Survey questionnaire study with foreign workers indicating attitudes of French, Italian and Russian workers toward a Nazi victory. 31-item bibliography.
