Expanding the concept of quality in personnel: Final Report

Development of Experimental Army Enlisted Personnel Selection and Classification Tests and Job Performance Criteria

“…Prior research suggests that situational judgment test (SJT) scores are likely to predict supervisor's ratings of job performance (McDaniel, Finnegan, Morgeson, Campion, & Braverman, 2001) and provide incremental validity over the ASVAB Peterson et al, 1993). With this in mind, we developed a predictor SJT-the PSJT.…”

“…That is, we generated scenarios and response options using subject matter experts (SMEs); our staff provided input and edited the items. We chose the traditional approach because it has resulted in good zero-order correlations and incremental validity in the past (McDaniel et al, 2001;Peterson et al, 1993). We did not deliberately construct the PSJT to be a personality measure-in which case we would probably have asked psychologists to write most of the items in a particular manner-nor did we dictate a style-based instrument.…”
