This report provides an overview of how standardized tests are used
as part of a broader selection system for each of the services at
different points in an officer's career, and a discussion of key
issues that should be considered when using standardized tests,
including the relationship between tests and racial and ethnic
group differences, which could affect minority representation
within the officer corps.
The Air Force relies on the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test
(AFOQT) as part of its officer selection process. Despite concerns
about the test, the authors conclude that it is a good selection
test that predicts important Air Force outcomes and is not biased
against minorities or women. The Air Force would not benefit by
replacing the AFOQT with the SAT, although other valid selection
tools could be used to complement the AFOQT.
