DEVELOPMENT OF SCREENING AND SELECTION TESTS FOR WOMEN

Abstract

This report details the development and standardization of replacement forms of the Armed Forces Women's Selection Test and the Women's Enlistment Screening Test. Classification Test R-5, with extended time limits and a revised conversion table, was used as the reference test for standardization of both tests. In the standardization testing, a form of WEST was always administered first, but counterbalanced order of administration of AFWST and the reference test was used to stabilize practice effect. Intercorrelations indicate close relationships between these forms and earlier forms of AFWST and WEST and effective prediction of scores used by the Army and Air Force in classifying enlisted personnel.
