Across the four studies,score profiles and multivariateanalyses generally showed that career groups differ substantially on a variety ofabilities.  Differences on the ASVAB-14 Composites were relatively smal1,however.Of 21 diverse career groups(e.g.,arts,social,science),18 scored highest on theASVAB-14 Business and Clerical Composite.In contrast,the ASVAB-14 Job ClusterScales were among the best differentiators of career groups.Of the 21 career groups,20 scored highest on the appropriate Job Cluster Scales.General cognitive abilitywas found to be of secondary importance.  \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS  \nThe author is grateful for the help with data collection and analysisprovided by Kyle Swaney,and for helpful comments on report drafts by  \nMichael Kane,Richard Sawyer,Kyle Swaney,and Michael Valiga--all members ofACT's Research Division.  \nTABLE OF CONTENTS  \nPage  \nPurpose and Overview of Report…………………………………………………………………………………………………………1  \nOverview of ASVAB-14 Job Cluster Scales……………………………………………………………………………1  \nModels for Test Interpretation……………………………………………………………………………………………………1  \nCounseling Limitations of Success Prediction Model……………………………………………1  \nDISCOVER's ASVAB-14 Interpretation Procedures……………………………………………………………2  \nSummary of Related Validity Studies………………………………………………………………………………………4  \nStudy 2…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………5  \nStudy 3…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………5  \nStudy 4……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………6  \nRelevance of Studies for ASVAB-14……………………………………………………………………………………………6  \nStudy 1: Differentiation of Occupational Choice Groups by  \nASVAB-14 Composites and ASVAB-14 Job Cluster Scales…………………………7  \nOccupational Choice as a Criterion for Test Validation………………………………………7  \nMethod…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………8  \nSample……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………8  \nVariables…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………9  \nAnalysis Plan…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………12  \nResults………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………13  \nDifferentiation of Occupational Choice Groups……………………………………………………13  \nAppropriateness of Choice Group Differences……………………………………………………………………15  \nDiscussion……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………16  \nASVAB-14 Results in the Context of Studies 2-4…………………………………………………………16  \nSelf-rated Abilities as Tools for Career Counseling………………………………………………16  \nA Two-component Model for Occupational Ability Differences………………………………17  \nReferences……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………19  \nAPPENDIX A:Studies Pertinent to the Validity of ASVAB-14  \nJob Cluster Scales……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………23  \nStudy 2: Differentiation of Occupational Choice Groups  \nby Ability Tests and Job Cluster Scales………………………………………………………………24  \nMethod………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………24  \nSample……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………24  \nVariables………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………24  \nAnalysis Plan………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………25  \nResults………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………26  \nDifferenti","cbCaidAYdd4cxlUw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidAYdd4cxlUw","pdf",3153630,108,"English","# Purpose and Overview of Report\n## Overview of ASVAB-14 Job Cluster Scales\n## Models for Test Interpretation\n## Counseling Limitations of Success Prediction Model\n## DISCOVER's ASVAB-14 Interpretation Procedures\n## Summary of Related Validity Studies\n# Study 2\n# Study 3\n# Study 4\n# Relevance of Studies for ASVAB-14\n# Study 1: Differentiation of Occupational Choice Groups by ASVAB-14 Composites and ASVAB-14 Job Cluster Scales\n## Method\n## Sample\n## Variables\n## Analysis Plan\n## Results\n# References\n# Appendix A: Studies Pertinent to the Validity of ASVAB-14 Job Cluster Scales","[{\"question\":\"What validity does the report evaluate for career counseling?\",\"answer\":\"The report evaluates the career counseling validity of ASVAB-14 composites and ASVAB-14 job cluster scales used in DISCOVER, including the role of self-estimates of abilities.\"},{\"question\":\"How many studies and participants are included in the results?\",\"answer\":\"Four studies are described with a total sample size of N=7,548.\"},{\"question\":\"How do job cluster scales compare with ASVAB-14 composites in differentiating career groups?\",\"answer\":\"Across the studies, job cluster scales are among the best differentiators of career groups, while differences on ASVAB-14 composites are relatively small.\"}]","Career Counseling Validity of theASVAB Job Cluster Scales Used inDISCOVER | PDF",272]
