WEGNER, T. G. REE, M. J. 1980 Youth Population: Correcting the Speeded Subtest Unpublished manuscript. Manpower and Personnel Division, U.S. Air Force Human Resources Laboratory, Brooks AFB, TX. [N.D.] Cohort(s): NLSY79 ID Number: 2471 Publisher: U.S. Department of Defense Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In the effort to change the reference base of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) to a sample representative of American youth in 1980, anomalies noted in the speeded subtest performance of the new sample indicated it might be an inappropriate reference. Discrepancies were traced to a nonoperational answer sheet used for data collection of the 1980 NLSY sample. The present study was conducted to correct the problem by equating the speeded subtest scores of the youth sample to operational test scores. Data were collected on the speeded subtest from about 9,500 service applications at Military Entrance Processing Stations; half used operational answer sheets as were employed in the youth sample. Results indicated that the adjustments for the answer sheets resolved the anomalies, and that the 1980 NLSY sample could be appropriately used with these adjustments. Search returned 1 items.
