DEVELOPMENT OF ARMED FORCES QUALIFICATION TEST AND PREDECESSOR ARMY SCREENING TESTS, 1946-1950
Abstract
The problems encountered in the development of the AFQT are summarized, and the outcome of attempts to solve the problems is described. Experience with earlier tests is discussed to permit a better understanding of the development of the AFQT. A comparison of the AFQT scores obtained under operational conditions and under standard conditions indicated the following: (1) slippage occurred in the operational scores for enlistees and inductees as indicated by the pile-up of scores at the cut-point; (2) under standard administration, the pile-up at the cut-point was absent, and the original standardization percentiles were obtained; and (3) the correction of operating conditions of test administration was considered the solution for avoiding the discrepancies which appear in operational AFQT scores.
