Abstract

This report documents Phase 3 of the development of Navy Computer Adaptive Personality Scales (NCAPS). This phase of the instrument development includes the analyses and the recommendations regarding revision and enhancement of the "Adaptability/Flexibility" the "Stress Tolerance", and the "Self-Reliance" scales. Furthermore, it also documents the development of the "Leadership Orientation", the "Self-Control/Impulsivity", and the "Perceptiveness/Depth of Knowledge" scales. A total of 390 new items were generated for the three new NCAPS attributes. The NCAPS item pool currently measures 13 non-cognitive constructs, with a total of 1,884 items.
