DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-REPORT TESTS TO MEASURE PERSONALITY FACTORS IDENTIFIED FROM PEER NOMINATIONS

Abstract

An experimental battery of personality tests was constructed as part of a project to develop personality tests appropriate for use in selection of applicants for Air Force officer training. Criteria were peer-nomination ratings previously shown to define personality factors that were predictive of Officer Effectiveness Ratings. Rational selection of testing techniques and item forms was supplemented by information from a series of tryouts with small samples. The battery will be administered to a large sample composed of groups from which reliable peer-rating criteria can be obtained for full cross validation.
