Improving the Selection, Classification, and Utilization of Army Enlisted Personnel. Project A: Research Plan

Abstract

This research report describes a research plan for a project whose objectives are to: (1) validate current and future ASVAB against soldier performance; (2) develop new selection and classification procedures and measures to optimize the match between soldier abilities and MOS requirements; and (3) develop computer-based decision-aids for managers of the Army's manpower processes. The objectives of the research will be met by: (1) developing new ways to measure and collect data on the military applicant pool; (2) developing and evaluating new predictors of soldier performance (e.g., psychomotor, perceptual, cognitive abilities, and biographical information); (3) developing new methods to measure and analyze training performance; and (4) developing and refining adequate, efficient soldier performance measures and predictors of enlisted personnel and NCO success.
