, Notes: June Etta Downey (1875 – 1932) was an American psychologist who studied personality and handwriting. Throughout her life Downey wrote seven books and over seventy articles. Included in this work, Downey developed the Individual Will-Temperament Test, which was one of the first tests to evaluate character traits separately from intellectual capacity and the first to use psychographic methods for interpretation.
Elizabeth Irwin’s blurb on back of jacket: “What does the growing boy or girl know about the powers of his own mind? Very few parents or teachers give the young persons of high school age any sense of his ability to increase his own power through such simple rules of psychology and mental hygiene as any elementary college course in these subjects suggests. One must have one praise for such an effort, and little else for the author’s success. Surely this book of science may safely be put into the hands of any child of any age. It is fully as interesting as any similar volume on astronomy, geology, chemistry or physics.”
