whyte, the organization man, 1956

william whyte was a journalist
who wrote extensively for fortune,
and authorred a number of books.

in the organization man, he invents
a new class of americans, with
their industries and home life.
his predictions of 1956 have largely
come about. in one of seven parts,
part IV, the testing of the organization man,
he takes to task the mass testing of
personality. he provides a dummy test
with an answer key, and tips
on test-taking. he quotes barzun,
with whom he agrees that "the sheer
mechanics of the tests punish the
exceptional man".
