Evaluation of Aptitude and Achievement Composites for the Initial Classification of Marine Corps Officers.

Abstract

As part of an ongoing project to develop a classification system for Marine Corps officers, aptitude, background, and performance data routinely collected by the Marine Corps were analyzed to determine their usefulness as predictors of performance in 12 follow-on specialty schools. Four schools had samples large enough for the development and cross-validation of multiple regression composites. Evaluation of manual and computer-assisted optimal assignment methods based on the composites indicated that the composites are effective in differentially predicting follow-on school performance.
