Analysis of Officer Performance on an Experimental Task: Airfield Layout

Abstract

Scores on the Airfield Layout test may be strongly affected by random and systematic error, as indicated by fairly low internal consistency, demonstrated effects of certain circumstances of administration, and pronounced effect of the order in which the examinee undertook task requirements. However, basic scoring points appear fairly comprehensive and sound. In the test sample of several hundred, statistically significant correlation should be possible, despite attenuation, with any variables having substantial representation of abilities required in reporting on airfield sites or determining needed length of runway.
