The emphaafr in teat covarage haa been shifted from trafnfng materi<br />
content to the problemc encountered by pereonnal senlgncd to the HOS<br />
between their graduation from formal training md their prowtforr to in<br />
advanced ski?.1 level or MOS. Par HOS in which cepcciaily needed (Eandsmen,<br />
Typists, S:cnographere, Court Repotters, and Radio Code Operators) performonca<br />
tests of motor and sensory skills have been developad for<br />
standard adminietration world-wid6 and are used a~ supplements to papcrand-pencil<br />
tests to product more job-related composite ecorea. Job-semple<br />
problems, adapted for multiple-choice anawerfng, huv6 been developed and<br />
uRed in aeverel testr. (These problems are bneed upon repreaentativa<br />
aeaignments for the specialty skill level with coannonly encountered<br />
aituctlonal data presented in nnrrattve form, or recorder tapce, or<br />
drawicge, fully or partfully completed forma, or ocher vieuel meana.<br />
Representative eolutfono of outstanding and infer-lor specialiats are provided<br />
for choices.) Several test outlines have been radevelopcd along<br />
f!:nctional linea to produce eubncores which reflect the comparntfve<br />
abilitiee of examineee to perform the various duty pcnitionp within a<br />
sp6Cialty. Atl can readily be seen, the net result ie a ronvsreion of the<br />
primarily job knowledga tests developed in th.1 early stages of the Army<br />
Evaluation Program to more predcrinantly job-pI’oblem eolvfng abilitiee<br />
tests. When the converafon ie complete, all KOS Rvaluatfon Teet. ecores<br />
can be used with confidence to determine how well examfneee ten perform<br />
the current mafor dutiee of a military Bpecialty rat.her than how much the<br />
examlncoe knou about the fundamentals of their KOS.<br />
Tvo additional index scores ere developed and reported: the NOS<br />
qualiflcatfon acore and the promotioa qucliftcatfon acore. The KOS<br />
qualification score le a *minimum passing score used to determine vhich<br />
sxtminees should be retrained or reassigned to P mor6 appropriate<br />
rpecielty skill levsl. The score can be used to determine which examfneee<br />
with a critfcal primary MO5 will not be awarded the sllpplemental<br />
pay for their assigned opeclalty. The method for determining the HiXi<br />
qualification score is bacied upon the premise that experts can arrive<br />
at the absolute number of question8 in e teat which, if answered correctly,<br />
distinguieh between the minimally qualified and unqualified pereonnel<br />

personnel within their commend to a higher pay grade or ckill level.<br />
It is the score attained or exceeded by one-third of the examinees arai.gned<br />
