The Navy Advisor Profile Report

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to develop an instrument which would be used to assess an individual's potential and suitability to perform advisory functions in the Republic of Vietnam. Specific personality characteristics possessed by effective advisors were identified and defined in terms of actual experiences encountered by Naval advisors in Vietnam. An experimental evaluation instrument and instruction manual were developed incorporating the distinguishing characteristics and their operational definitions. The form and manual were field tested and an analysis of the data indicated that evaluators were able to use the instrument in discriminating between effective and ineffective individuals as potential advisors. The Navy Advisor Profile Report (NAVPERS 1300/8 (7/71) and BUPERS 1300-24) and the Instruction Manual Navy Advisor Profile Report (NP 15164) were put into fleet-wide operational use August 1971.
