Summary "Vocational Psychology: Its Problems and Methods" by H. L. Hollingworth is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This volume delves into the applications of psychology in vocational guidance and selection, focusing on the assessment of individual differences that affect career choices. It seeks to provide a systematic evaluation of vocational psychology, offering insights for students, parents, and professionals involved in helping individuals navigate their career paths. At the start of the book, the author lays a foundation for understanding vocational psychology, tracing the evolution of thought from primitive beliefs about controlling fate through magic and fortune-telling to modern methods of psychological testing. Hollingworth highlights the limitations of earlier approaches like phrenology and physiognomy, emphasizing the need for more scientifically grounded methods to evaluate individual aptitudes. This introduction sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of psychological tests and their relevance in guiding individuals toward suitable vocations based on their mental characteristics and capabilities.
