Conclusions<br />

The final experimental PEC measures seven biodata/temperament con~tn~ct~. Each of the construct<br />

scales seems to be reasonably homogeneous and focused on the intended personal characteristics, experiences,<br />

and motivation constructs. The inventory has good potential for enhancing the prediction of<br />

NROTC performance and attrition, Further research is needed to evaluate validity of the PEC for predicting<br />

perfonance and attrition.<br />
