Reading Grade Level (RGL) Data for Air Force Specialties (1988)

Abstract

Reading grade level (RLG) is a common measure of reading ability. The Air Force is interested in determining the RGL of its enlisted personnel for several reasons. A table developed by Waters, Barnes, Foley, Steinhaus, and Brown (1988) allows for conversion of Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) Verbal (VE) composite standard scores to RGL on several reading test scales. The current study used the table to determine RGL at several different points of interest for each Air Force SPECIALTY (AFS). For example, mean RGL and one standard deviation below the mean are reported, as are RGLs that can accommodate 70%, 80%, and 90% of the personnel within each AFS.
