An Analysis of CAT-ASVAB Scores in the Marine Corps JPM Data

Abstract

The Defense Department has developed a computerized adaptive testing (CAT) version of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). During the Mechanical Maintenance phase of the Marine Corps lob Performance Measurement project, CAT-ASVAB was administered to over 1,400 Marines in Automotive Repair and Helicopter Repair occupations. The scores of these Marines were analyzed to assess the reliability of CAT-ASVAB, the potential effect of test item compromise, and how the use of computers has affected the nature of speed tests. This research memorandum presents the results of the analysis.
