Development and Validation of the Restricted Noncommissioned Officer Special Assignment Battery (NSAB)
Abstract
This report describes research to validate a new version of a personality and motivation measure, the Restricted Noncommissioned Officer Special Assignment Battery (NSAB), to inform noncommissioned officer (NCO) special assignment. The current research builds on the U.S. Army Research Institute for Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) previous Tailored Adaptive Personality Assessment System (TAPAS) and NSAB research that has shown these measures predict a range of performance and attitudinal criteria for new Soldier selection, military occupational specialty (MOS) qualification, and NCO special assignment selection (recruiters, instructors, drill sergeants, Special Forces). This report covers the preliminary results of data collected to validate a new, restricted version of the NSAB for operational use in a sample of Soldiers attending Basic Leader Course (BLC).
