THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROFICIENCY TEST FOR SAGE IDENTIFICATION BRANCH PERSONNEL
Abstract
An earlier part of this project was to develop a prototype, job-oriented performance test for the SAGE positions of Identification Officer and Technician. The primary goals of the present project were to up-date the test and modify it so hat () it could be administered and scored by Air Force personnel and (b) further forms of the test applicable to other SAGE Direction Centers could be constructed by in-service personnel. In order to replicate the job as closely as possible, photographs were made of Situation and Digital Information Displays under actual job conditions. Even though the photographs were made at the Boston Air Defense Sector, the situations were found to be applicable to other sectors. The techniques employed in the construction and modification of the test seem to be useful for the development of similar tests for local needs. The tests were administered and scored with little difficulty by a number of different people, some of these being Air Force personnel. Within the limits of sample size and of the criterion information available, the form of test as modified appeared to be reliable and valid.
