Associate Ratings and Senior Service School Selection

Abstract

Interest in the use of associate ratings as a technique for officer selection has undergone a recent revival in the Army. Previous studies have demonstrated the validity of ratings made in precommissioning programs for later active-duty officer performance. A previous effort with Army colonels had demonstrated the feasibility and reliability of associate ratings at higher grade levels. This study was an attempt to further demonstrate its usefulness at higher command levels. The primary objective was to determine the reliability of associate ratings and the relationship between ratings and board action for senior service college selection. An additional factor of two rater samples at different levels of military schools, AWC, peers, and Command and General Staff College (C&GSC) subordinates was studied to determine differential results.
