It was decided that one way psychologists could contribute was by devising means for selecting and evaluating recruits into the armed forces. Then developed an Army Alpha test for literate recruits and an Army Beta test for illiterate or non-English-speaking recruits. According to the results of the army's testing program, about half of the white males tested had a mental age of 13 or lower, and the situation was even worse for black males. Once again, proposals arose for restricting marriage and for widespread sterilization of individuals with mental deficiencies.
