Identification of Self-Description Scales for Differential Classification.
Abstract
As one phase of the major research effort to develop an improved Army Classification Battery (ACB), research continues on two experimental self-description noncognitive instruments designed to contribute to differential prediction of performance in Army training programs--Forms 2 and 7 of the experimental Army, Differential Aptitude Series (ADAS). The purpose of the present project was to develop ADAS-2 and ADAS-7 empirical scales designed to differentially predict performance in a broad range of MOS in the Electronics, General Maintenance, Motor Maintenance, and Clerical occupational areas. To serve the purposes intended, each scale should (1) be effective for a substantial number of related MOS, and (2) possess differential predictive value for MOS in given occupational area, in contrast to MOS in other occupational areas. The present Research Memorandum describes the development of 11 new noncognitive scales for ADAS-2 and ADAS-7--five against a training criterion and six against later performance on the job.
