In late 1946 testing rose from 40 to 53 tests monthly across three test types, including typing proficiency, aptitude for inexperienced workers, and the General Aptitude Test Battery. Employers praise the tests for saving time and selecting qualified applicants, with growth expected as more tests cover additional occupations.
