Packard Of New Society Author Vance Packard says a rather morbid interest is being shown in efforts to determine how many years of active, ef- ficient life an applicant for a job has ahead in today's. busi- néss world. ' He says one psychologist at the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health has been perfect- ing a "psychomet", a machine that 'records how we can re- spond to 22 different mental and physical tests. His thesis is that one's rate of slowing down can be discerned in a man even in considerable interest in this ma- chine if it is marketed. Another psychologist, Ward Halstead, has developed a Halstead bat- tery that has for several years been used in selecting and pro- moting personnel in industry. It purportedly assesses the '"'bio- logical" age of a man's brain. The Halstead thesis is that some brains deteriorate faster than others and that an applicant's brain may be old beyond his years: His test has been given to several hundred executives. All of this information is con- tained in Packard's new book, "THE NAKED SOCIETY" (Musson Book Co, Ltd.) which is, as the dust jacket states, '"'an exploration of the mounting as- sault on our privacy by Big Government, Big Business, and Big Education -- and what can we do about it', Packard skilfully examines the rapidly disappearing right of individual privacy under the on- slaught of Orwell's Big Brother|e philosophy that is pervading Big| Business, Big Government, Big Education, and society in gen-| eral.

There are highly informative and fascinating sec- tions on what employers are do- being subjected in school to al- leged personality testing that probes into the most intimate ships, the results of which are held secret from the parents. Vance Packard paints a terri- fying picture of the surveillance to which thousands are subject- ed -- and for the most part sur- reptitiously, Packard says the individual does not have to stand for such infringements of privacy.
