That is, the man who did well in Part I,but poorly in part II, would rank high in the list according to thealgebraic difference between his score in Part I and his score inPart II, and he would be chosen for sales engineering. Thismethod, theoretically, selects the men who can function mostefficiently as sales engineers, and leaves those who can functionmost efficiently as design engineers. To check this method of classifying and ranking the thirtydesign engineers and the fifty-nine sales engineers, the score of 72 BRUCE V. MOORE each individual for Part II was subtracted from his score in PartI, both scores being in terms of their respective standard devia-tions. This gave positive although not the most desirable resultsin separating the sales engineers from the design results are shown graphically in Diagram 20. Consider-. Diagram 20. Differentiation Obtained by Subtracting Scores in Part I fromScores in Part I in Terms of Standard Deviations. Considering the diagram as a four-fold table, the engineers indicated by the testas sales engineers are 79 per cent correctly so classified; and the engineers indi-cated by the test as design engineers are 49 per cent correctly so classified,ru = + 45- ing the diagram as a four-fold table, this method of interpretingthe results differentiates the men so that of those classed as salesengineers, 79 per cent are correctly so classed; and out of thoseclassed as design engineers, 49 per cent are correctly so correlation between the test results treated in this way andthe actual classification was ru = + .45. Also, the correlationbetween the classification of the men by the test treated in thisway and the classification of the men by the Section II.
