VALIDITY OF THE AFOQT (FORM A) FOR PREDICTION OF STUDENT-OFFICER SUCCESS IN OBSERVER TRAINING

摘要

The Air Force Officer Qualifying Test, Form A, was administered to AFROTC sophomores by the AFROTC detachments. Later the answer sheets were rescored at Personnel Laboratory. During the latter half of 1957 criterion data matured on those examinees who had entered Observ¬er Training after completion of the AFROTC program. The aptitude com¬posites and subtests of the AFOQT were validated against three criteria of success in Observer Training using the scores derived from the rescoring. It was found that the Observer-Technical composite is a valid pre¬dictor of success in Observer Training for this population. This Note reports the first Observer validities to become available for an AFROTC population.
