Validity Analysis of Tool and Trade Knowledge Test Items.

Abstract

The objective of the present analysis was to develop experimental scales for the differential prediction of performance in construction and related mechanical jobs. The present report covers analysis of items for (1) difficulty level in samples representative of the Army input population and (2) validity for performance in selected electrical maintenance and engineer construction training courses. A necessary intermediate step in the analysis was to determine whether item statistics in relatively small samples representative of individual MOS or MOS of near equivalent requirement would be sufficiently stable to constitute a basis for predictive scales which could be cross validated in subsequent studies.
