Selection of Qualified Army Enlistees: Pre- and Post-Enlistment Response to Selected Biographic and Attitudinal Questionnaires.

Abstract

The development of a procedure allowing the Army to identify those applicants for enlistment, although qualifying on regular physical and mental criteria, will be unable to make a satisfactory adjustment to Army life, was identified as an area for research by the Army Research Institute (ARI). To this end, analyses were performed on applicant responses to four experimental instruments. The instruments were administered at recruiting stations, AFEES, and reception stations to determine differences in response patterns associated with test administration location. Test-retest reliabilities were determined on each instrument. Relationships between the individual tests at each testing location (recruiting station, AFEES, reception station) were also examined.
