Book is a text written by personnel of the Schools and Training Branch, Office of Strategic Services (OSS) at the end of World War II. Months of statistical calculation on the part of more than a dozen psychologists and psychiatrists went into the foundation of this book. The techniques developed are especially relevant for those engaged in assessing candidates, whether for identifying disqualifying defects of function or for determining unusual talents or abilities. This book provides a candid exploration of the first attempt in America to design and carry out selection procedures in conformity with Gestalt principles. The text particularly will invite the attention of those concerned with predicting human behavior and improving methods of diagnosis, assessment and selection.

This book has some of the characteristics of an encyclopedia. It presents and analyzes many diverse facts about cells, organs, organisms, groups, organizations, societies, and supranational systems, but it integrates all this knowledge into a single conceptual system. The book is a presentation of the state of current knowledge in all of the sciences relevant to these seven levels of living systems. It also provides a theoretical integration and a methodological approach to quantitative basic research, and how applied research and development can arise from this. The set of concepts presented by the author is powerful and draws attention to all facets of a given problem in a social system.
