EXTENSION OF THE WEIGHTED AIRMAN PROMOTION SYSTEM TO GRADES E-8 AND E-9

Abstract

The weighted airman promotion system (WAPS), a system designed and implemented for E-4 through E-7 promotions, was considered for application at the E-8 and E-9 levels. A sample of cases was selected from among airmen eligible for promotion to E-8; four career fields in each of four selector aptitude areas were represented. Weighted factors composite scores, were computed for all cases in the sample. These composite scores were computed both with and without a promotion board score. The derived scores were then rank- ordered to determine the accuracy with which the composite scores predicted the actual promotion outcomes.
