Research for Selection and Classification in the Korean Army,
Abstract
To provide professional assistance to research personnel of the Republic of Korea Army (ROKA) in developing an effective enlisted selection and classification system appropriate to ROKA personnel management needs. A senior research psychologist of the U.S. Army Personnel Research Office, OCRD, DA spent a year (January 1964 to January 1965) in Korea working with ROKA research personnel. Following an analysis of the effectiveness of current operational tests and procedures, a comprehensive research program was formulated, to include development of new and revised tests for selection and classification and their organization on a scientific basis into an integrated enlisted personnel system, broadly adapted from the U.S. Army personnel system. Initial phases of the research, including much of the test development, were completed in 1964, and detailed plans were made for subsequent validation, standardization, and implementation of the research products.
