A test devised by Dr. G. Frederic Kuder for the purpose of helping students figure out their ideal career direction that was first published in 1938.
From the "Chemistry in Northern California" section of the chapter "How Weird Am I, Anyway?" of The Real Frank Zappa Book.
"They used to give kids in the sixth grade something called the Kuder Preference Test. You had to stick a pin in the page, in boxes that you selected. The test was supposed to determine what you would be best suited for, in terms of employment for the rest of your life. My test results indicated that my destiny was to become a secretary. I scored highest in 'clerical'."
