This spring, millions of American high school students are taking
the newly redesigned SAT, which was first administered in 1926.
It’s just one of many types of tests Americans have devised to
measure and sort ourselves. In this episode, the Guys delve into
the history of testing in America, from duels and religious tests
in colonial New England to the development of the civil service
exam in the wake of President James Garfield’s assassination in
1881 by a disgruntled job seeker. They’ll also look at the role of
eugenics in the development of standardized tests for students, and
corporate America’s fondness for the Myers-Briggs personality
test.
