When workers are selected for vocations or jobs in an industrial concern after a careful weighing of the requirements of the jobs on the one hand and assessment and evaluation of the abilities and aptitudes of men on the other, it is referred to as "scientific vocational selection". Scientific selection involves two things: (a) knowledge regarding the qualities which a person in order to do a given job properly and (b) the measurement of qualities possessed by a candidate for the job. The first task requires the drawing up of "job specification" i.e., "job analysis" and "job grading".
