Reading Ability and Other Correlates of the SQT Written Component
Abstract
In this report SQt scores are correlated with reading ability, demographic variables, and questionnaire responses. Reading ability, as measured by a standard test, is substantially correlated (r=.46) with scores on the Written Component (WC), but much of the relationship may be explained in terms of general ability, since reading ability also correlates with the Hands-On Component (HOC) (r=.25). Soldiers who say they can understand the Soldier's Manual and the WC questions score higher on the WC. WC scores were not related appreciably: (1) to perceived quality of training, (2) to career satisfaction, (3) to time in service, (4) to age, nor (5) to civilian eduction.
