SVIB Prediction of Retention,

Abstract

Using the responses of entering Class of 1971 cadets to the 399 items in the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB) several special keys were developed to distinguish between cadets at entrance who are likely to graduate and those likely to become motivational resignees. Three Graduation Keys were cross validated on responses by entering cadets in the Class of 1968 to the SVIB. At USMA, like USNA, USCGA, and USAFA, the SVIB demonstrated significant utility in identifying entering cadets who are either very likely or very unlikely to graduate from the academy. (Author)
