Construction of Two Experimental Short Forms of the General Information Test.

Abstract

The Deputy Chief of staff for Personnel has directed additional differential screening at Armed Forces Examining Stations of Category IV personnel (percentiles 10 to 30 on AFQT) in order to avoid induction of men who will not achieve a standard score of 90 on two or more aptitude areas. To meet this requirement in the Combat Aptitude Areas, construction of short forms of the Classification Inventory and the General Information Test was undertaken. The present Research Memorandum describes the construction of two experimental short forms of the General Information Test. (Author)
