This is the first volume of the final report of the Committee on the Performance of Military Personnel, which was established in 1983 to provide scientific oversight of the Joint Service Job Performance Measurement/Enlistment Standards (JPM) Project, intended to develop robust measures of performance in entry level military jobs so that standards could be linked to performance on the job. The two volumes address issues such as the development of job performance measures, evaluating the quality of performance measures, implications of cognitive psychology for measuring job performance, work samples as measures and measuring job competency. The contents are: Overview; Psychological testing and the challenge of the criterion; Policy goals and testing; Improving job performance measures; The testing of personnel; Evaluating the quality of performance measures: reliability; Evaluating the quality of performance measures: content representativeness; Evaluating the quality of performance measures: criterion-related validity evidence; The management of human resources.
