Development of Preliminary Screening Measures for Special Forces Trainees

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to construct, and to select from existing instruments, appropriate measures for inclusion in an experimental Special Forces Selection Battery which would subsequently be subjected to full- scale validation. The exploratory validation analysis conducted in the present study was designed to furnish leads for the selection of tests from a preliminary battery. A study was made of the Army Classification Battery, personality measures such as BIB's, and Form 20 military background factors in order to determine which available measures might be appropriate for inclusion in a preliminary Special Forces Selection Battery.
