Job Sample Tests as Predictors of M1 Gunnery Performance. Appendixes A-E
Abstract
The objectives of Phase I of this research was to develop an aptitude measurement methodology which could be used to design job sample tests for armor crewmen; apply the methodology to develop job sample tests; and administer the job sample tests to armor crewmen and analyze the test data. Phase II, reported separately, included analyses of the predicted validity of the job sample tests. A five-stage methodology for job sample test design was developed. Stages included task identification; task prioritization; job sample dimensional analyses; trade-off analyses; and detailed job sample test development. Seven job sample tests, three computer-based and four hands-on tests, were developed using the methodology. They were Operate Computer Panel, Computer Tracking, Computer Target Engagement, Tank Commander Decision Making, Hands-On Gun Laying, Hands-On Tracking, and Hands-On Target Engagement. Tests were administered to armor crewmen stationed in Europe. The analysis of test data indicated a low degree of intercorrelation among job sample tests which suggested that they were measuring different gunnery behaviors.
