"Analyzing Character" by Katherine M. H. Blackford and Arthur Newcomb is a treatise on the science of understanding human character, likely written in the early 20th century. This work aims to educate readers on the methods of character analysis to address issues of vocational misfits in various fields, including business, home, and social life. The authors explore themes related to self-knowledge and the importance of matching personal aptitudes to suitable professions to enhance overall satisfaction and efficiency in work life. At the start of the book, the authors introduce the fundamental ideas behind character analysis and its necessity in preventing the widespread issue of vocational misfit. They highlight the varying causes of such misfits, which include ignorance of one's abilities, lack of purpose, parental influence, and economic pressures. A striking example shared discusses how misplaced parental expectations can lead to detrimental outcomes in a child's professional life. The opening sets a tone of urgency and importance for understanding oneself deeply to select a career that aligns with one's talents, warning of the potential waste of human ability if individuals fail to find their suitable roles in life.
