This book was released on 1998 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major goal of this research is to determine the adequacy of using operational skill qualification test (SQT) measures to serve as a criterion surrogate for the more widely accepted, but prohibitively costly, hands-on measures. If it could be shown that similar decisions are made or similar outcomes are obtained in the classification context, the criteria would be considered as substitutable for one another. Project A's longitudinal data set was used to obtain hands-on and job knowledge measures for 9 Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) and only job knowledge measures for an additional 6 MOS, 18 to 24 months alter the cohort sample entered the Army. Operational Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and SQT scores for the same cohorts were available from official records. Findings indicate close similarities in: selecting tests for assignment composites, patterns of predictor test validities; classification efficiency (MPP); and in factor structure in the joint predictor-criterion space. The overall conclusion is that either criteria can serve as a surrogate for the other in developing classification procedures using ASVAB.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The broad objective of the present study is to design an improved two-tiered classification system and to compare its classification efficiency to the current operational aptitude area (AA) system. The total data set includes about 260,000 recruits serving in 170 different entry-level MOS during 1987-1989. The set includes all available ASVAB/Skill Qualification Test (SQT) data for MOS with adequate sample sizes collected by ARI during this time frame. The proposed system to be evaluated in this study would use an invisible or black-box first tier in which separate assignment variables (AVs) are computed for up to 150 job families. The first tier AVs are to be used in assigning recruits to entry-level MOS. The second tier is used in recruiting, counseling and administration. The proposed system to be evaluated in the visible second tier uses up to 17 families. It is proposed that the aptitude area scores of the visible system be recorded on each soldier's personnel record. The principal finding of the present study is that the unbiased overall mean predicted performance (MPP) of the 150 job family structure is .195 compared to the MPP for the existing operational system of .023, a gain of more than eight fold. The unbiased overall MPP for the 17 job families is .146. The 17 family system is obtained by shredding the existing AA families within the boundaries of the operational classification families to maximize the Horst index. Findings continue to support an early differential assignment theory (DAT) principle that maximum MPP is obtainable by using AVs for all jobs having adequate or stable validity data. The results clearly demonstrate that considerable classification efficiency is potentially obtainable from the existing ASVAB if it is used in accordance with DAT principles."--DTIC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Army currently employs nine Aptitude Area (AA) composites to classify new recruits; they are derived from the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) subtests in a manner that makes them easy to calculate but inefficient for classification. At the end of 2001 the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) will eliminate the two timed subtests in the ASVAB. This will reduce the classification efficiency of the existing Army composites and necessitate redefinition of the existing composites. In their place the Army is considering for adoption new composites that nave been developed by ARI based on a job performance criterion. ARI has developed a set of 17 operational classification-efficient job families and corresponding composites that would be used for administrative, counseling, and school proponent purposes. The new structure strongly resembles the existing structure, in effect being a further shredding of existing families. The new composites/job families are undergoing further testing and evaluation, and will be considered for implementation in the 2004-2005 period. In the meantime ARI has developed an interim set of composites that retain the existing nine operational job families but are also based on defensible job performance data. These will be implemented January 2002 while planning for the new 17 Army Aptitude Area composites goes forward."--DTIC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the development of tile PC-Based Enlisted Personnel Allocation System (EPAS) through completion of the Functional Description phase (circa 1998). EPAS is a software system designed to introduce person-job-match optimization into REQUEST, the Army's training reservation system. This report reflects the results of research conducted and sponsored by the U.S. Army Research Institute over the 1993 - 1998 period. This work established the feasibility of using sophisticated optimization procedures to improve classification efficiency, as well as the additional classification gains made possible by utilizing measures of soldier performance as assignment composites in the classification process. The production version of EPAS, designed as an enhancement to and subsystem of REQUEST, will be transparent to Army applicant and career counselor. Evaluation field-testing is scheduled for FY 2002-2003.

This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although ability testing has been an American preoccupation since the 1920s, comparatively little systematic attention has been paid to understanding and measuring the kinds of human performance that tests are commonly used to predictâ€"such as success at school or work. Now, a sustained, large-scale effort has been made to develop measures that are very close to actual performance on the job. The four military services have carried out an ambitious study, called the Joint-Service Job Performance Measurement/Enlistment Standards (JPM) Project, that brings new sophistication to the measurement of performance in work settings. Volume 1 analyzes the JPM experience in the context of human resource management policy in the military. Beginning with a historical overview of the criterion problem, it looks closely at substantive and methodological issues in criterion research suggested by the project: the development of performance measures; sampling, logistical, and standardization problems; evaluating the reliability and content representativeness of performance measures; and the relationship between predictor scores and performance measuresâ€"valuable information that can also be useful in the civilian workplace.
