Book Description
The Armed Forces Qualification Test, the screening test used by all the services, must provide both a measure of general military trainability and measures of specific aptitudes. Following the research design for previous forms, experimental test items in four content areas developed by the separate services were administered to 3000 Armed Forces personnel for item analysis and item selection. Final forms were then administered to standarization samples representative of the mobilization population as a basis for conversion of test scores to percentile norms. AFQT 7 and 8 correlated substantially with preceding operational forms (r = .89 - 90) and are satisfactory alternate forms for screening. Correlation of AFQT 7-8 with years of formal education (r = .53) was slightly less than for the previous forms. Because of the high degree of equivalence of the two forms (r = .94) established in samples totaling 600 cases, a single conversion table was established for AFQT 7 and 8. Based on experimentation, instructions for administering AFQT 7 and 8 have been made shorter and simpler than for previous forms, with no loss in test effectiveness. (Author).

Book Description
In response to continuing requirements of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (DCSPER), Department of Army, the INPUT QUALITY Task directed its research efforts to developing new approaches to screening problems and to contributions of screening activities to classification and other manpower management functions. Successive forms of general military trainability measures--Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) and Enlistment Screening Test (EST)--and supplementary measures of specific aptitudes (Army Qualification Battery, AQB)--were developed and produced to aid in more effectively determining enlistment eligibility.
