Psychological Factors Measured in the Differential Officer Battery

Abstract

The report is one of a series of major publications marking the culmination of the OFFICER PREDICTION research program and the impact of the findings on BESRL's ongoing and newly formulated program on officer evaluation and career development. The first publication in the series derived important dimensions of officer leadership behavior. In the present study, the major psychological factors derived from officer responses to tests of the experimental differential officer battery (DOB) are identified and delineated; the experimental predictor scores resultant from a reduction of the large number of measures obtained are described.
