THE RELATIONSHIP OF OCS GRADES TO OFFICER FITNESS REPORT MARKS.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if any of several grades earned at OCS could be used to predict officer effectiveness as measured by Officer Fitness Report Summaries. The subjects were 2,183 graduates from OCS Classes 34, 35, 36, 39, 40, and 41 (1957-58). The criterion of officer effectiveness was the average fitness report rating received by the officer during his first 18 months of naval service. Essentially, the conclusions are: (1) there is a low but statistically significant relationship (the average validity was .22) between each of the OCS variables considered in this study and the fitness criterion, (2) Fleet based fitness report marks are significantly less predictable than Shore based fitness reports, (3) the validities of the different OCS academic grades vary only negligible, (4) Final School Grade and Military Aptitude were the best predictors of those studied, having validities in the .16 to .37 range.
