Revision of WAC OCS Biographical Information Blank and Applicant Evaluation Report

Abstract

The WAC Officer Candidate Biographical Information Blank was developed and introduced operationally in 1948. Upon recent examination, much of the content was found to be obsolete or inappropriate, especially in terminology. Scoring was evidently based on analogy to the male OCS BIB. Both Rights and Wrongs keys were applied to the MOST APPLICABLE and LEAST APPLICABLE sections of Part III and a constant was added to avoid negative scores. Revision of the WAC OCS BIB was obviously in order. In connection with the planned revision, all instruments for selection of input to OCS and to the WAC Officer Reserve were examined. The BIB is common to the WAC OCS selection battery and to the battery for appointment to commissions in the U. S. Army Reserve. The OCS procedures include in addition an Evaluation Report and a standard interview. The Reserve program includes the same standard interview and an Appraisal Sheet instead of the Evaluation Report.
