Construction of the Electronics Picture Test and the Electronics Knowledge Test.

Abstract

To maintain the Army Classification Battery at peak effectiveness for classifying enlisted input to different job areas, alternate forms of existing tests, as well as tests of additional aptitudes and abilities, must be developed and introduced so that the Army's changing job and manpower requirements may be met. To help meet this objective, research has been undertaken to improve the differential validity of cognitive measures pertinent to MOS in the electronics (200) and electrical (300) occupation areas. This report deals with the development of two new experimental electronics tests--the Electronics Picture Test and the Electronics Knowledge Test. Three phases of test development have been completed: (1) preparation of two item pools with a total of 260 items, (2) review and revision of the items with the assistance of subject matter experts, and (3) organization of items into experimental forms suitable for field administration. The final phase (item analysis and standardization) will be reported later. (Author)
