The Army Alpha and Army Beta tests were developed during World War I to screen millions of recruits. These tests were used to assess cognitive abilities such as language proficiency, arithmetic skills, and problem-solving ability.

The results of these tests were used to assign recruits to different military roles based on their abilities.
