In the book The Scorch Trials, each Glader was secretly tattooed on the back of their necks with information clearly identifying them as WICKED test subjects. PROPERTY OF WICKED each tattoo began and included each subject's group (A or B), their subject number, and their title. The title was given by WICKED based on their character and personality, and illustrated the role WICKED intended for them to play. For example, Newt's title was "The Glue", meaning that Newt's personality as the level headed center of Group A was the glue that kept the group together. As for Thomas, who's title was the ominous "To be killed by Group B",  the title was intended to forshadow WICKED's design.

The tattoos are another variable: to see how each individual reacts to the role they´re given.
