Inhalt:
Howard Knox served as assistant surgeon at Ellis Island during the 1910s, administering a range of verbal and non-verbal tests to determine the mental capacity of potential immigrants. The book presents a portrait of psychological testing and its limits, particularly the predicament of the people examined at Ellis Island. It concludes with the development of Knox's work in later decades and its changing application in conjunction with modern psychological theory.
