Development of Item Pools for New Combat Selection Tests.

Abstract

Classification of new Army recruits for assignment to combat MOS is based in part on two tests of the Army Classification Battery (ACB)--the Classification Inventory (CI) and the General Information Test (GIT). Two separate combat aptitude area scores are derived from the ACB: the Infantry Aptitude Area (IN) and the Artillery-Armor-Engineer Aptitude Area (AE). The CI is used in conjunction with the Arithmetic Reasoning test (AR) for assignment of recruits to Infantry MOS. The GIT is used in conjunction with the Automotive Information test (AI) to assign recruits to MOS in the Artillery, Armor, and Engineer occupational areas.
