Design and Fleet Trial of Automated Performance Evaluation Forms for Two Pay Grade Groups: E5-E6 and E1-E4

Abstract

Alternative marking scales and coding procedures for each pay grade group were experimentally administered to a fleet sample. Two alternative Optical Character Reader (OCR) forms, a mark-sense and a character-sense mode, were used to test the automated capability. All experimental forms provided distributions of marks substantially more discriminating than the present operational form, especially for the Pay Grade 5-6 group. Of special concern was the inflationary and stultifying effect of the present coding procedure, even on the new forms. Preparation time, discrepancy rate, and processing time were much higher for OCR and OMR type documents. Specific recommendations are provided for substantially improving both the source document design and the system design.
