Validation of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) and the English Diagnostic Test (EDT) for Performance in Basic Journalist (JO) 'A' School

Abstract

This research evaluated the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) clerical composite, which is used to determine qualification of Navy recruits for Basic Journalist (JO) 'A' school. The research also evaluated the contribution of the English Diagnostic Test (EDT) to the ASVAB selection criteria. Correlational and expectancy analyses indicated that the ASVAB general technical composite predicts performance in JO school better than does the clerical composite. The EDT makes a small but significant contribution to the validity of the ASVAB general technical composite. (Author)
