Development of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery: Forms 8, 9, and 10. Final Report 19 December 1975-31 January 1977.
Fruchter, Dorothy A.; Ree, Malcolm James
In order to meet the needs of all the Armed Services, new forms of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) must periodically be developed, refined, and standardized on an appropriate normative sample. Since one of the uses of the ASVAB is to determine candidate suitability for military service, it is necessary for the standardization sample to be broadly representative of the national applicant body; and since the preparation of replacement ASVAB Forms constitutes a significant revision, parallelism of new forms with each other and with previous ASVAB Forms must be achieved. The purpose of the reported research was to conduct, edit, test on a national sample, and standardize three new versions of ASVAB, which would become ASVAB Forms 8, 9, and 10. Operational Form 7 was suggested as the example for item selection and the criterion for comparability with previous ASVAB Forms. (Author)
