Screening Composites for Air Force Officers.

Abstract

The purpose of this effort was to develop an instrument to predict success on the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT)Form O. This new device, to be used by recruiters, will aid in the identification of individuals likely to pass the AFOQT requirements in applying for a commission in the Air Force, The subjects in the study were 37,409 applicants taking AFOQT Form O, the current operational form. Items were selected from the AFOQT to make up subcomposites referred to as Officer Screening Composites (OSCs). The OSCs correspond to the five composites (Pilot, Navigator-Technical, Academic Aptitude, Verbal, and Quantitative) that make up the AFOQT. This work resulted in the development of five OSC conversion tables, consisting of OSC raw scores, the corresponding expected AFOQT percentile score, and a 90% confidence interval. Keywords: Aptitude tests, Personnel selection, and Prescreening tests.
