An Exploratory Investigation of the Skill Qualification Testing System

Abstract

In December 1977, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 52 enlisted men at Fort Polk, Louisiana. The interviews were designed to provide information on user reaction to the various components of the Skill Qualification Test (SQT) system: the Soldiers' Manual, the SQT notice and the test itself. They are also designed to uncover information about the way in which the SQT system was operating and SQT-related activities on post. Results of the interviews are discussed and suggestions for improving various elements of the testing system are presented.
