Development of Joint Service Criterion Instruments for Enlisted Jobs

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DoD) uses the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and other predictor measures to select over 100,000 new military recruits every year and place them in military occupations. To ensure predictor measures are valid, the DoD and individual Services conduct rigorous, large-scale research projects to evaluate predictor measures against criterion metrics such as training/job performance or retention. However, criterion metrics are mostly Service-specific and sometimes occupation-specific, making it difficult to examine outcomes across the five Armed Services (Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard).
