Current Directions in Selection Research for the Royal Navy,
Abstract
The computer assisted personnel selection system reported at MTA 1980 is moving into the procurement stage although the first implementation will not include most of the self-correcting mechanisms built into the prototype. Doubts concerning the volume of recruiting business required in the future have curtailed the money available. Counselling, the representation of military technical life, and aides to self selection have been of major concern in view of the small intakes required and the consequent disturbances when selectees decline to join or leave prematurely. Microprocessor-based tests are being considered in some areas but it is not expected that paper testing will be supplanted. Short courses of a few days' length at the Royal Marine Commands Training Center are being evaluated as a selection device in an attempt to reduce the leaving rate due to unexpected physical demands and life styles.
