Book Preliminary Assessment of Selected Predictors of Special Forces Qualification Course Success

Download or read book Preliminary Assessment of Selected Predictors of Special Forces Qualification Course Success written by Robert J. Pleban and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a follow-up research effort designed to examine the predictive utility of selected measures of intelligence (Wonderlic Personnel Test - WPT), personality (Jackson Personality Inventory - JPI), and biographical information in predicting the successful completion of Phase I of the Special Forces Qualification course (SFQC). Intelligence, personality, and biographical measures were obtained from 293 soldiers attending Phase I of the SFQC at Fort Bragg, NC. The relationships between two of the selected predictor measures, WPT, and JPI and the Phase I performance criteria were assessed through a correlation-multiple regression strategy. Predictive utility was assessed using a discriminant analysis procedure. Intelligence (WPI) correlated significantly with overall Phase I status and four JIP scales: Energy Level, Anxiety, Risk Taking and Infrequency. The results further suggested that SF candidates who have had prior specialized training emphasizing land navigation, map reading, and patrolling (e.g., Ranger, Reconnaissance, Jungle Warfare) are likely to be much better prepared to complete Phase I successfully than those candidates who have not had such training.

Book Development of a Roadmap for Special Forces Selection and Classification Research

Download or read book Development of a Roadmap for Special Forces Selection and Classification Research written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this project was to develop an agenda for Special Forces (SF) selection and classification research. Job analysis data, interviews, field observation, and expert judgments about the quality of measures formed the foundation for the Roadmap. The resulting Roadmap is composed of eight projects. Projects 1 and 2, Concurrent Criterion-Related Validation of Readily Available Predictor Measures Against on the Job Performance and Development and Implementation of Content Valid Job Sample Tests, supplement SF selection and classification with measures of leadership, temperament, and communication and analytic skills that could be implemented quickly. Project 3, Validation of Measures of Conventional Army Task Proficiency, Experience and Preference Against Training Performance, addresses the fit between individuals and SF Jobs. Project 4, Validation of Training Performance Against on the Job Performance, would evaluate the usefulness of training data for predicting job performance. Project 5, Predictive Validation of All Predictors Against on the Job Performance, the ultimate test of any selection system, requires maintaining databases for validation purposes. Projects 6-8 involve the development of information to facilitate decision making at the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School. The are: Development of a Selection and Training Decision Simulator (Project 6), Review of New Measures of Leader Problem Solving Performance (Project 7), and Training Performance Study (Project 8)."--DTIC.

Book Exploring the Limits in Personnel Selection and Classification

Download or read book Exploring the Limits in Personnel Selection and Classification written by John P. Campbell and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the early 1980s and continuing through the middle 1990s, the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) sponsored a comprehensive research and development program to evaluate and enhance the Army's personnel selection and classification procedures. This was a set of interrelated efforts, collectively known as Project A. Project A had a number of basic and applied research objectives pertaining to selection and classification decision making. It focused on the entire selection and classification system for Army enlisted personnel and addressed research questions that can be generalized to other personnel systems. It involved the development and evaluation of a comprehensive array of predictor and criterion measures using samples of tens of thousands of individuals in a broad range of jobs. The research included a longitudinal sample--from which data were collected at organizational entry--following training, after 1-2 years on the job and after 3-4 years on the job. This book provides a concise and readable description of the entire Project A research program. The editors share the problems, strategies, experiences, findings, lessons learned, and some of the excitement that resulted from conducting the type of project that comes along once in a lifetime for an industrial/organizational psychologist. This book is of interest to industrial/organizational psychologists, including experienced researchers, consultants, graduate students, and anyone interested in personnel selection and classification research.
