Description: "Transformation of the U.S. Army into the Future Force involves changes to missions, systems, and organizational structures. To realize the full potential of transformation, the Army must have the means to select and to assign high quality individuals who, as first.term Soldiers, can meet the training and operational demands emerging with transformation to the Future Force. This report is part of a series of research product reports that provide to potential users information on products resulting from a project titled New Predictors for Selecting and Assigning Future Army Soldiers (Select21). The goal of Select21 is to (a) develop and validate new performance predictor measures and (b) propose use of the most promising measures as a foundation for an entry-level selection and classification system adapted to the demands of the 21st century. This report describes the experimental selection and classification instruments. In the Select2l project, Soldiers' scores on these instruments will be linked to their scores on job performance measures to evaluate how well these instruments might forecast future job performance. Instruments that show promise for predicting job performance could supplement the Army's current selection and classification test battery (i.e., the ASVAB, the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) in the future."--Stinet.
