Effectiveness of Adaptability Screening

Abstract

A total of 12,599 basic airmen on whom aptitudinal, biographical, and History Opinion Inventory (HOI) data were collected comprised the sample population. Using the successful completion of first-term of military service as the criterion, regression analyses were accomplished to determine the effectiveness of various experimental predictor composites. Efforts were made to develop the most economical composite from the standpoint of number of data items required while retaining the maximum amount of predictive accuracy. Multiple correlations of the two composites developed from these analyses were . 43 and .49. Cross-application analyses resulted in multiple correlations of .43 and .47. The effectiveness of the composites were compared to the screening effectiveness of the 1972 and 1975 standards for enlistment. Problems related to the implementation of such a screening procedure were discussed. (Author)
