Abstract:

Having been designated as the benchmark for assessing on-the-job performance, hands-on tests need to be examined for the quality of their measurement. This analysis evaluates the measurement validity of hands-on tests based on the results of tests developed for three Marine Corps MOSs Ground Radio Repair, Automotive Mechanic, and Infantry Rifleman.
