Evaluation of Alternative Aptitude Area Conversion Tables for Use with ASVAB 6 and 7

Abstract

The current operational conversion tables are based on results of an administration of the test battery to approximately 4,500 applicants for military service in September-October 1975. Air Force Human Resources Laboratory was executive agent for that research, with assistance provided by the laboratories of all of the services. An alternative set of ASVAB 6/7 conversion tables has subsequently been developed by the Center for Naval Analyses at the request of the Marine Corps. These alternative conversion tables are based on scores of 3,134 Marine Corps recruits who were administered ASVAB 6/7 at the two Marine Corps Recruit Depots during the period December 1975-February 1976. The objective of this analysis was to compare the operational ASVAB conversion tables with the experimental set proposed by the Marine Corps, in order to determine the impact of any possible change in conversion tables upon Army enlistment screening and school assignment.
