Siegel, Arthur I. – 1983
This is the third report on the use of a technical classification assessment center (TCAC) for evaluating general detail (GENDET) personnel in the Navy. The first two reports described the development of the TCAC and the validation of the TCAC against supervisors' ratings of job performance for a small exploratory sample. This report presents the…

Peer reviewedEarles, James A.; Ree, Malcolm James – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1992
The validity of the subtests and composites of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) for grades in 150 military technical schools was investigated with 88,724 Air Force recruits. Across all jobs, arithmetic reasoning was the most valid subtest, and the electronics composite was the most valid composite. (SLD)

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), composed of the common elements of operational classification batteries used by the different services, has been given to high school students since 1968. Results are used by the schools for counseling and by the Armed Services for selecting and classifying potential recruits. The present…

Sympson, James B.; And Others – 1982
Conventional Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery-7 (ASVAB) Arithmetic Reasoning and Word Knowledge tests, were compared with computer-administered adaptive tests as predictors of performance in an Air Force Jet Engine Mechanic training course (n=495). Results supported earlier research in showing somewhat longer examinee response times for…

Dunbar, Stephen B.; Novick, Melvin R. – 1985
The presence of differences between prediction systems for males and females is investigated through a detailed study of clerical specialties in the Marine Corps. When various aptitude composites are used to predict success of recruits in training, sizeable differences in regression functions are found between male and female groups. The paper…

McBride, James R.; Sympson, J. B. – 1982
The Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) project is a joint Armed Services coordinated effort to develop and evaluate a system for automated, adaptive administration of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). The CAT is a system for administering personnel tests that differs from conventional test administration in two major…

Green, Bert F.; And Others – 1982
The United States Armed Services are planning to introduce computerized adaptive testing (CAT) into the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), which is a major part of the present personnel assessment procedures. Adaptive testing will improve efficiency greatly by assessing each candidate's answers as the test progresses and posing…

Dunbar, Stephen B.; And Others – 1985
This paper considers the application of Bayesian techniques for simultaneous estimation to the specification of regression weights for selection tests used in various technical training courses in the Marine Corps. Results of a method for m-group regression developed by Molenaar and Lewis (1979) suggest that common weights for training courses…

Jensen, Harald E.; And Others – 1976
The Department of Defense directed that the military services move toward the use of a common aptitude battery for satisfaction of their personnel selection requirements. The content of existing service classifications were studied during the initial phase of battery redesign. Elements from the Army Classification Inventory, the Navy Vocational…

Fruchter, Dorothy A.; Ree, Malcolm James – 1977
In order to meet the needs of all the Armed Services, new forms of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) must periodically be developed, refined, and standardized on an appropriate normative sample. Since one of the uses of the ASVAB is to determine candidate suitability for military service, it is necessary for the…

Peer reviewedRaju, Nambury S.; And Others – Applied Psychological Measurement, 1991
A two-parameter logistic regression model for personnel selection is proposed. The model was tested with a database of 84,808 military enlistees. The probability of job success was related directly to trait levels, addressing such topics as selection, validity generalization, employee classification, selection bias, and utility-based fair…

Peer reviewedDunbar, Stephen B.; And Others – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1986
This paper considers the application of Bayesian techniques for simultaneous estimation to the specification of regression weights for selection tests used in various technical training courses in the Marine Corps. It concludes that a hypothesis of complete generalization of the predictor-criterion relationship would only be retained for selected…

McCormick, Bruce K.; And Others – 1983
Alternate forms of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) were administered five separate times to 57 men and women of military service age. The objective was to determine to what extent means and cross-session correlations are stable over several administrations. Ten individual subtests, the derived ASVAB area composites and the…

Prediger, Dale J.; Swaney, Kyle B. – 1992
Starting in the fall of 1992, students will be asked to use the U.S. Department of Defense's "Occu-Find" to find occupations that fit their Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) codes, which will be based on the ASVAB academic ability composite (a measure of student cognitive ability). The purpose of this report is to…

Peterson, Norman G., Ed. – 1987
As part of the United States Army's Project A, research has been conducted to develop and field test a battery of experimental tests to complement the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery in predicting soldiers' job performance. Project A is the United States Army's large-scale manpower effort to improve selection, classification, and…
