An Analysis of CAT-ASVAB Scores in the Marine Corps JPM Data
September 1, 1991
The Defense Department developed a Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) version of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). During the Mechanical Maintenance phase of the Marine Corps Job Performance Measurement (JPM) 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 effects 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.

Navy Physicians' Pay Distribution Compared to Civilian Income
August 1, 1991
In recent years, there has been concern over the size of the gap between pay for civilian physicians and pay for military physicians, and over the declining retention observed for Navy physicians. Efforts have been made to increase physicians' military pay and retention. This research memorandum derives actual pay distributions for 22 physician specialties and documents the size of the civilian-military pay gap for three experience levels within each specialty. The pay gaps are linked to acceptance patterns of the 1989 medical officer retention bonus. The large variation in pay gap size by specialty and experience level should enable future pay plans to address specific problems.

Data Quality for Automotive Maintenance Phase of the Marine Corps Job Performance Measurement (JPM) Project
August 1, 1991
All large-scale data collection efforts must contend with the issue of data quality. This research memorandum examines the quality of data collected for the automotive maintenance portion of the Marine Corps Job Performance Measurement project, and describes measures taken to minimize the effect of questionable or missing cases. Particular attention is focused on data inconsistencies and problems associated with operational fielding of the Computer Adaptive Test-Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery and the Enhanced Computer Administered Test.

Analysis and Prediction of Infantry Unit Leaders' Performance
June 1, 1991
This research memorandum covers a variety of issues related to the performance of enlisted infantry unit leaders and the ability of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) to predict that performance. Performance strengths and weaknesses were identified for a representative sample of almost 400 unit leaders who were tested with hands-on performance tests and job knowledge tests. The tasks were also analyzed for the perishability of the skills involved if not performed on a regular basis. Finally, these measures of unit leader performance were related to ASVAB. A strong relationship was found between an individual's ASVAB scores and his later performance as an infantry unit leader. Such findings have strong implications for the quality of individuals the Marine Corps should recruit to be able to staff its future leadership positions with qualified personnel.
