Prediction of Enlisted Performance. I. Relationships among Aptitude Tests, Navy School Grades, the Report of Enlisted Performance Evaluation, and Advancement Examinations.

Abstract

The major purpose of the research was to analyze the components of final grades in Class 'A' Navy schools and to relate grades to subsequent on-job performance and advancement examination scores. A battery of 11 'factor pure' aptitude tests was administered to enlisted students at 19 technical schools in 11 Navy ratings. Each student's complete grade record was obtained, consisting of scores on all written and performance examinations, the number of failing subgrades received, and final grade. About two years later official on-the-job performance evaluations and advancement examination scores were obtained for about 3,000 of the 4,451 sample members. (Author)
