[Labor psychology in a general hospital].
At the present article the author describes a personnel recruitment investigation made among aspirants to make Nurse studies (college level). There are used, as selection instruments, on one hand, an interview and projective techniques like Bender and HTP ("House, Tree, Person") tests; on the other hand, the Holland's "Vocational Preferences Inventory" (V.P.I.) is utilized as a psychometric technique. It is possible to demonstrate in this study, as the author believes, that there is a positive correlation between the results due to interview and projective tests, and those responding to the psychometric inventory mentioned before. Besides, a "Nurse Ideal Profile" based en V.P.I. Scales is obtained: successful aspirants must procure high scores in Scale 2 (Intellectual) and 3 (Social), and must get low scores in Scale 1 (Realistic, which tests interest in instruments rather than social motivations.
