William "Wild Bill" Donovan created the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II, which was responsible for gathering and analyzing intelligence information. As a part of this effort, he recognized the need for reliable and valid psychological assessment tools to help identify recruits with the skills and abilities necessary for intelligence work. This led to the development of the Assessment Program for the OSS, which included a battery of psychological tests and became a model for future psychological assessment programs.
