the subj eC t indicated that he was ready to begin, the tes.t
administrator instructed him to start and began timing.
At s.evera 1 p a i n t s in the testing sequence i t was
necessary for the test administrator to insert or remove
faul t condi t i ons or otherwi se prepare the equipment for the
next i tern. kt these times (3 or 4 per test> the subject was
excus.ed and given a break of approximately fiue minutes..
Throughout testing, the test adminstrator observed the
subject’s actions, checking off 5 t e p s performed in
procedures on the scoring sheets provided, and recording and.
eval uat i ng troubl eshoot i ng (non-procedural 1 act i ens on other
forms. When necessary, the test administrator queried the
subject to determine what he was doing or attempting, Time
to complete each task was al so recorded. Upon completion of
testing, each s.ubject was. asked how frequent1 y he performed
each of the tested tasks on the job, and when he had most
recent 1 Y performed each tas.k.
RESULTS
Each of the FC hands-on performance tests consisted of
7 tasks, each of which yielded a single, overal 1 score
ranging from 0 to 100. Carrel at ions were computed for the
radar and data subrat ings, combined and separatel:x*, and are
shown i n Tab1 e 1. The carrel at i on between overal 1
performance on the hand,=-on test with kFQT for the radar and
data subrat i rigs comb i ned was -.03. Correct i ng for
restriction in range resulted in a correlation of .12. The
corre 1 at i on between overal 1 $erf ormance on the hand,s-on test
wi th AFGT for the data subrat ing was .30. T h e carrel at i on
between overal 1 performance on the hands-on test with AFQT
for the radar subrat i ng was -.lO. Correcting for
restriction in ranoe res.ul ted in a correlation of .17 for
the data subrating- and .14 for the radar subrat ing.
