Evaluating the Animal Husbandry Student

Massachusetts State College

Abstract

All educational institutions must of necessity evaluate their students as regards mentality, but few of them up to the present have developed comprehensive schemes for personality evaluations.

Most teachers probably consider that their task has to do with mind, and that the student or someone else should look out for the proper development of personality. But it seems obvious that in most types of work, a man's success hinges to a greater extent on his personality, his ability to work and to get along with other people than it does on the keenness and training of his mind. There probably are places where brilliant minds coupled with negative personalities can function successfully—some types of research for example—but they are relatively scarce. Fortunately, for most of us, our success depends a great deal more on an acceptable personality than it does upon scintillating cerebration.
