The Current Status of Research and Development on Selection and Classification of Enlisted Personnel

Abstract

Research and development programs conducted by the military services and defense agencies on the selection and classification of enlisted personnel are discussed. Particular attention is given to (1) the use of computer-based testing procedures to measure performance capabilities not otherwise observable; (2) extensive efforts to validate the results of selection instruments with on- the-job performance data; and (3) ways to improve our ability to use test results and data processing procedures that better match people to available jobs. Suggestions are made for future research and development.
