I You'd Become a Successful Accountant - Bookkeeper Here Are the Gifts You Must Possess “You Must Rate 70% or Better in Analytical Ability, Accuracy, Determination, Industry, Keen Thinking and Love of Figures. By William Judson Kibby. Copyright, 1: by the Press Publishing Co. (The New York Brening Werid.; This ig the seventh in a@ series of articles written especially for readers of The Evening World by William Judson Kibby, the noted cha:- ecter anulyst and industrial psychologist, ichose services are retained dy @ number of big business corporations. Mr. Kibby ix teaching his y readers to analyze themselves and decide whether or not they fit their present jobs. To-day 1 shall tell Evening World readers of the qualiications neessary and how to apply the ‘princtples of character analysis to the end of fitting themselves for this far-reaching and useful field of endeavor, The president of a big life insurance company Was once an accountant. He be- came interested in actuarial problems; solved them successtully, and was made president of the company. Another acquaintance of mine ecame fascinated with the problem of credits. Ie applied his natural leaning toward figures, and with his ability to analyze difficult situations which these figures presented he became president of a big bank. T can name a score of men who, once bookkeepers, Vecatne accountants, tose to positions as private sec- retarles and treasirers of theit reapective companies. Many men have worked themselves into positions as heads of departments throngh thelr knowledge of, and close application to, figures. I would strongly advise young men inclined toward figures to turn their minds A, toward credit work, for [ have a constant demand for credit men. To de sure, my clients are geeking good ones, but many of thowe who are now counted as excellent credit mon were once called poor, tecause of lack of maturity through inexperience. The following qualifications are ab- solutely necessary for an aecountant- bookkesper. Combined with this list 1 shall give an analysis of my rating 0! un accountant of my acquaintance, Analyaical tendenci ' back of figures) H™ to become a successful accountant-bookkeeper ure your gifts by a tight standard and fon't be afrid to place your Percentuge not one point above what. you really know it should be, Yet, tf You are thorouglly conscious thut you are very high in any ome item i (through those around you constantly +80. saying that you are), then mazk {t 40 accordingly, +75 SECOND—Make your analysis upon several carbon coples of letter-size sheets and check them up and give 0 = to as many of your business friends 49 or associntes as you can and have - 70 them place their cheok aguinst yours ‘39 ©.

FIFTH—Yon should have an aver- age of at least 60 to qualify. In each of my vocational analyses articles I shall include a type and the dominant characteristics of that type, which will serve to aid readers in recognizing that type, either in them- selves or in others, and for their own ag well ag their friends’ benefit. To- day's type follows: The Independent and Citnwing Temperament. Masculine and Feminine Type. The illustration to-day combines the two indications—shown in the shoulders and hips. The lines show- ng the broad shoulders and narrow hips are the masculine or independent type. ‘The physical characteristies of this “pe are broad or square shoulders. large muscles, ligaments, hands, fret, bones and narrow hips. They often take different heights, short, tail, but the typleal ts tall In their Tfe's aotivitias they ar very independent and inclined toward determination and firmness; are very confident, and have great enduranoe. ‘They are our pioneers, wuiiders, constructors, afd are not inclined to tate the optatons of others, but follow thetr own plans; they strike out or tre Seaten path, and often in the heat of temper would be very de- strastive. . The lines snowing the narrow shoulders and broad hips show the cfagtag or feminine temperament. Be examinteg the phywical charac- tertatios we find that the shoulders sre Darrow and slant downward, while the hfs are very broad. The incIination to leam upon others for opintens, protection, &¢. is most evident, The organisation is fine and the quality excellent. The stature ts wsualty ghort and the mental facul- ties quite alert. As a rule this type * very fond of one place to live and \s Gestrous of approval of those they ove, fond of children, of singleness of affection, @piritualiy minded, and quite eoourete as a judge of tumen nature. It is sifgular that in the chaging type we have those who are very intuitive, and their first impres- mons of an individual are apt to be ery accurate, especially as pertains fency or determination.. Keen and quick to think or catch a given id Concentration Decision and action . Add these percentages and you get 440. Now divide by the number of qualifications which 1 deem neces- sary for this vocation (19) and you will get 64 per cent, This man quali- tied, but only too often he became mpractical, scattered his ideas fav too much and lacked that genius for decision and action, He was always timoat rearly, but did not finish, Yet, fhe would only correct these weak- nesses he could be the head of iis de- partment. now TO ANALYZE YOURSELF. Here are some rules tot those who ie to analyze themselv FIRST—Study yourself, and meas- investigation we find thus far that {heir intuition is more apt at dissov- ering impertections in the moral Load than tn any other traits of They are cautious end have ‘crest aptitnde for compuring tifings.
