Abstract
The 50 items comprising the 5 Thorndike clusters were rated by 2 experienced job analysts in terms of the Methods Groups and Worker Functions factors. It was discovered that the ratings grouped themselves into functional areas. "It is suggested that the judgment of trained job analysts working within a conceptual framework of the world of work ...can arrive at such decisions of classification and clustering without the involved and prolonged statistical treatment used by Thorndike. Moreover, it provides a device for generating and presenting this type of item in a meaningful manner." Four stages in the application of the "functional technique" are indicated.
