New York Times with a job offer, received letters with specific instructions: take a bus in the suburbs of New York to such and such a bus, drive to an inconspicuous factory-type building and ask for a certain Mr.
Stevenson.
Neither diplomas, nor questionnaires, nor letters of recommendation were required from job applicants. They were asked to answer 163 different questions. Which is larger in area, Australia or Greenland? What wood are kerosene barrels made of? What is copra? What did James Watt invent? Which mountain is the highest in the world? And in America? It turned out that the famous inventor Edison was looking for employees and would hire those who correctly answered most of the questionnaire he had compiled.
The bulk of the candidates disappointed the employer. Of the 718 people who took the test, only 57 were able to correctly answer more than 70% of the questions (this was the threshold below which the inventor refused to work). And only 32 people gave more than 90% correct answers. Edison checked on his test and already working employees. Those who did not score the required number of points received a week’s salary and were fired.
Although the subjects were asked not to disclose the test questions to anyone, someone gave them to the newspapers, and wide circles of readers began to test their knowledge on the Edison questionnaire (Edison had to develop a new version for recruitment).
Questions from the test began to be asked to celebrities and government officials, exposing gaps in their knowledge. With the light hand of Edison, all kinds of tests became fashionable. Kodak began to use a similar questionnaire when applying for a job. And the state of New Jersey began to subject everyone who wants to get into the civil service to a similar test. Later, psychologist Carl Brigham, developer of the New Jersey test, created a test for schoolchildren, the basic principles of which were used in many countries, and then led to the creation of our USE.
When Albert Einstein visited the United States in the same year, 1921, newspapermen attacked him with questions from Edison. After listening to these questions, the great physicist said that he did not intend to keep in mind, for example, the speed of sound, when its exact value can always be found in a reference book. From this incident, a common anecdote was born, according to which Edison, when meeting with Einstein, offered him several points of his questionnaire, and the scientist noted with chagrin that he would not have been able to get a job with Edison.
This story got, for example, in the famous collection “Physicists are joking.” In fact, the two celebrities never met in person, although they spoke of each other with great respect in absentia.
In 1929, Edison announced a nationwide competition for the title of “America’s smartest schoolboy.” The jury included the inventor himself, Henry Ford, the pilot Charles Lindbergh and the founder of Kodak, George Eastman. The winner of the 49 finalists was 16-year-old Wilber Houston, who received a scholarship to continue his education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Subsequently, Houston became one of the leaders of NASA, so in this case, Edison’s approach paid off.
It is curious that some (mainly mathematical) problems of this competition were published several years later by our well-known science popularizer Ya.
