Icvce Miss L Tyler To Give Talk Miss Leona E. Tyler, known on the campus for her love of chamber music, her large record collection, and her reputation as a good cook, will speak on the subject of "Ap proaches to Psychological Measure ments” at the University lecture scries at S:30 p. m. Thursday in 107 Villard. Miss Tyler, assistant professor of ! psychology, is a graduate of the University of Minnesota where she is remembered as having" been con sidered one of the ablest students under Dr. Donald Paterson, author of "Learning Tests with Deaf Chil dren”, and other books. In connec tion with writing her doctor's thesis there, she worked with interest tests for high schol girls and through this became especially in terested in various types of per sonality tests. In her lecture, Miss Tyler will dis cuss the different attempts which have been made in the last 25 years to measure personality, interest in ventories and personality question naires, and projective methods such as ink blot tests will be covered. These forms of measurements are being^ used in evaluating applicants by the armed forces, educational institutions, and industry. Many forms have been widely published in national magazines and general public attention has been drawn recently to the questions of per sonalities. Miss Tyler believes that “People need to understand what can be done with these tests, what they are for, and the extent of their limitations.” For several years she has been making a special study of interest inventories used to measure gen eral personality trends. In the near future the American Psychology association will publish, in the Journal of Applied Psychology,” Miss Tyler's article on the analysis of the relationship between voca tional and other personality traits.
