He gave an advertisement in the newspaper inviting applications for filling up different vacant posts. As many as 120 applications were received. The same were scrutinized. Out of these, conditions of 15 applicants were not acceptable to the company. Letters of regret, giving reasons, were sent to them. The remaining candidates were called for preliminary interview. The candidates called for were asked to fill up blank application forms. Thereafter, they were given four tests.
The objective of the first test was to find out how much interest the applicant takes in his work.
The objective of the second test was to find out ‘specialization’ of the applicant in any particular area.
