Abstract:

There is a definite need for proficiency measures in military training which have the characteristics of ratio scales with widely general dimensions. For studies with practical implications these measures also need to be criterion-related. Models for proficiency measures based on decision theory and information theory are described and possible uses discussed. Consideration is given to the problem of specifying proficiency standards.
