"We have a threefold purpose then in this book. In Part I we are concerned with a brief history of the development of the group procedure and with a consideration of the uses to which it is being put at the present time (Chapter I). We have also discussed in detail the technical aspects of the administration of the test, the problem of the inquiry and the scoring of the records (Chapters II and III). In Part II we have presented an experimental investigation from which norms for the new method may be derived. We have analyzed the responses in terms of location, and determinants. (In Part IV, in order not to disrupt the continuity of our general presentation, will be found the List of Content which may be compared with the lists for the individual method, compiled by Beck (6) and Hertz (7).) One of our main concerns in these sections has been to study each card separately so that we now possess information about the kind of perceptual experience which each card most readily evokes. A card by card comparison of individual and group records is also included. Lists of the popular answers derived from this statistical study, the frequency with which failures occur in each of the cards, a consideration of the distribution of anatomical answers within the ten cards, and the like have been discussed. Part III is concerned with the Multiple Choice Test which was derived from the material presented in Parts I and II. Since the original preparation of this book, this test in its preliminary form has been found to be of use not only to educators and counselors as suggested above, but also to persons concerned with problems of military selection, classification and rehabilitation, as well as to workers in the industrial field. We have, therefore, added a brief report in a final section on some of the findings in these various fields which have been published or made available to us, and have included three papers devoted to various phases of the use of the test in military psychiatry by Due, Wright and Wright. Part IV, as mentioned above, is given over entirely to the List of Content, which will obviously be used only for reference"--Introduction.
