Abstract: There were four important manufactures which had made psychological apparatuses in Japan before World War Ⅱ. The author already investigated other three manufactures except \nAndo Kenkyusho and published the provided results. In the present research the author examines Ando Kenkyusho and its founder, \nHitsujiro Ando, and shows newly obtained information. When H.Ando was an officer of the Japanese Navy (1905 -1924), he devoted himself to the development of an aptitude test and completed the test which was composed of 44 inspection items. He devised many kinds of apparatuses for the test and carried out the test to various kinds of \nworkers of the Navy. He founded Ando Kenkyusho in November, 1924 when he was 40 years old and devoted himself to the improvement of the apparatuses used in the test until his early death in 1932. The author gave light on his work through the existing products of Ando Kenkyusho as well as through historical documents relating to him and his company.
