Construction of Experimental Interest Measures for Enlisted Classification.
Abstract
One of the objectives of the New Classification Techniques Task is to explore new test content which will increase the effectiveness of classification and assignment in the Army. In pursuit of this objective, possible new cognitive information tests have been examined along with new noncognitive tests. Effort in this direction has included research on occupational interest measures. In the endeavor to meet the need for a measure of mechanical interest, the Army Job Activities Questionnaire (AJAQ-M) has been constructed. The item pool was developed to reflect such factors as expressed interests, experiences, and job preferences that may be predictive of success in training and job performance in construction crafts MOS. The questionnaire was designed to supplement information tests such as the experimental Tool and Trade Knowledge Tests. The present publication describes the selection of cluster keys based on an internal analysis of the interrelationships among items and sections of the AJAQ-M. It was hoped that these keys would provide greater understanding of the dimensions of personality expressed through preferences for job activities of various kinds and/or job requirements associated with construction crafts MOS.
