ABSTRACT
The Project A/Career Force research program involved two major validation samples, one concurrent and the other longitudinal. The concurrent sample, from which data were collected in 1985, allowed an early examination of the validity of the ASVAB, as well as a comprehensive battery of project developed experimental tests, to predict job performance for a representative sample of jobs. The longitudinal sample, from which data were collected from 1986 through 1992, allowed examination of the longitudinal relationship between ASVAB and the new predictors and performance at three stages in an individual’s career. It also allowed determination of how accurately current performance predicts subsequent performance, both by itself and when combined with predictors administered at the time of selection.
