Factor Analysis of Self-Description Data in a Basic Combat Training Sample.
Abstract
A basic objective of the New Classification Techniques Task is to explore new test content through which the effectiveness of classification and assignment in the Army can be heightened. As a result of research conducted since 1949, including Korean combat studies, two new measures were developed and introduced into the Army Classification Battery on 1 October 1958. The new tests were incorporated in two new aptitude areas for classification to the combat arms, the Classification Inventory as a component of the Infantry Combat Aptitude Area (IN) and the General Information Test as a component of the Artillery, Armor, and Engineer Combat Aptitude Area (AE). The success obtained with these instruments increased the hope that further improvement in the predictability of combat performance could be achieved by measuring additional aspects of personality.
