analysis. For biodata items in which the response options<br />

represented a continuum, the biodata scores were related to<br />

the job proficiency.scores using the Pearson Product Moment<br />

Fe-Radar Operations Personnel<br />

RESULTS<br />

Table 1 shows that nine (9) Biodata Factors contained items -.<br />

which correlated at a statistically significant level with<br />

the job performance data of the radar personnel. It is<br />

interesting to note that four of the items fall within the<br />

Adjustment/Emotional Maturity Factor; an additional four<br />

items deal with some aspect of Technical/Scientific,<br />

Mechanical, or Numerical Factors. Overall, 13 separate<br />

items validated against the criterion data. Table 2<br />

presents the results of the Pearson Product Moment<br />

Correlations (continuous to continuous variables) for radar.<br />

The validity coefficients range from.322 (p c.05) to .575 (p<br />
