Data Collection. The objective was to collect questionnaire<br />

responses from a large number of first tour incumbents in a<br />

reasonably representative set of Army MOS, or jobs. It was<br />

determined that the most effective means of achieving this<br />

objective was to administer the PRQ as part of a large-scale data<br />

collection being conducted as one stage in a research effort,<br />

known as Project A, to improve the Army's enlisted selection and<br />

classification system. Between July, 1988 and February, 1989,<br />

the PRQ was administered to 11,069 soldiers in 21 MOS chosen to<br />

reasonably represent the full set of Army MOS for Project A<br />

purposes.<br />

Results<br />

A factor analysis with an orthogonal varimax rotation<br />

yielded two factors, which accounted for 46% of the common<br />

variance. The first factor includes items which deal with the<br />

individual's inability to get the job done: the second factor<br />

includes items which tend to focus more on ways in which to<br />

improve job performance.<br />
