The conference focused upon the users of tests in counseling and guidance. The first session centered on multi-factor ability test batteries, with papers on Use of Multi-Factor Aptitude Tests in School Counseling, by Robert D.

Cureton; and Logic of and Assumptions Underlying Differential Testing, by John W. French. Papers in the second session considered methods of improving communication of test information.

Gustad on Helping Students Understand Test Information; Alexander G. Wesman on the Obligations of the Test User; and David H. Dingilian on How Basic Organization Influences Testing. The lucheon address was a re-examination of the role of the psychologist in modern society, presented by Morris S. Viteles.
