PREDICTION OF SUCCESS IN TECHNICAL TRAINING FROM SELF-REPORT INFORMATION ON EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT

Abstract

Eucational information about recruits was evaluated for its potential contribution to airman classification. A self-report biographical inventory provided 53 education variables from the responses to 16 questions. Multiple regression analysis for graduates from 8 technical schools (samples from 267 to 820) showed that prediction of technical school success improved significantly when education variables were combined with the aptitude index. The educational information is valid alone, as well as in combination with the aptitude measure, for use in airman selection.
