THE VALIDITY OF OFFICER EFFICIENCY REPORT, WD AGO FORM 67-1 FOR GENERAL OFFICERS

Abstract

The demonstrated validities for Form 67-1 in rating general officers are similar to validities of the instrument in rating officers of grade lower than general, when adjustments are made for difference in range of scores for the two groups. Against two different criterion measures, the 67-1 validities were .48 and .46 for brigadier generals, and .39 and .43 for major generals. The validities for the separate parts of the form varied as much as ten points among themselves but approximated the validities of the same parts for officers of lower grades. On the average the general officers scored substantially higher on the instrument than other officers. Conclusions: Form 67-1 is as valid in estimating the efficiency of general officers as in estimating the efficiency of lower grade officers. The general scoring methods used for other grades of officers are usable for general officers as well.
