Development and Field Test of Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales for Nine MOS (Military Occupational Specialties)

Abstract

The research described in this report was performed under Project A, the U.S. Army's current, large-scale, manpower and personnel effort to improve the selection, classification, and utilization of Army enlisted personnel. This report documents the development and field test of behaviorally anchored rating scales for nine Military Occupational Specialties (MOS). These include combat, combat support, and noncombat MOS. For each MOS, the behavioral analysis method was used to generate examples of performance. These examples were used to identify performance effectiveness dimensions and to develop behavioral definitions of performance for each dimension. Across the nine MOS, behavioral summary rating scales contained from 7 to 13 performance dimensions.
