The Development of the Educational and Biographical Information Survey

Abstract

The Educational and Biographical Information Survey (EBIS) was developed to explore the potential utility of biodata in military selection and to collect data relevant to the evaluation of current educational and moral enlistment standards. The EBIS, which includes items concerning high school grades and behaviors, employment history, family background, and involvement with law enforcement agencies, was administered to 34,000 military applicants and nearly 40,000 new recruits from all four services in the spring of 1983. This report describes the EBIS development, content, administration, and data processing procedures. Item specifications for the EBIS appear in the final chapter.
