Computerized Adaptive Screening Test (CAST): Development for Use in Military Recruiting Stations

Abstract

The Computerized Adaptive Screening Test (CAST), which is capable of operating on a stand-alone microcomputer system in recruiting stations, was designed and developed to replace the Enlistment Screening Test (EST) currently in use. CAST correlates .87 with the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT). It is being further refined. EST is used by all services; thus, as recruiting operations are automated, CAST has potential value to them all for reducing administrative and clerical burdens on the recruiter.
