Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery, Forms 6 and 7: Validation against School Performance in Navy Enlisted Schools (July 1976 - February 1978).
Abstract
This predictive validation study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), Forms 6 and 7, used since January 1976 for acceptance of applicants into the Armed Services and for initial assignment to school after completion of recruit training. ASVAB subtest and current selector composite validities against a final school grade or days-in-training criterion were determined for each school sample. Validation of many other two-, three-, and four-test sets of ASVAB subtests were also determined in an attempt to discover more valid composites than those operationally used. Recommendations were made for changing selector composites in 10 schools to lower academic attrition. (Author)
