Comparability of Navy Electronics Technician Selection Test and Certain Army Classification Battery Measures

Abstract

The Department of Defense has requested that the armed services explore the feasibility of developing an entry test battery common to all U.S. military services. Each of the armed services is currently performing research in support of this effort. The first stage in the Army's program is to analyze, in an Army population, the relationship between Army tests and certain Navy and Air Force tests. The primary relationships examined in this report are between each of four Army Classification Battery (ACB) Form 1973 subtests and the Navy Electronics Technician Selection Test (ETST) Form 7. The four ACB subtests considered are Mathematics Knowledge (MK), Science Knowledge (SK), Electronics Information (EI), and Mechanical Comprehension (MC). In addition, relationships between ETST scores and certain other Army tests scores are also presented.
