Gaines  \nJeannie P. Stroupe  \nSouthern Assessment Research & Development Center Post Office Box 27625 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611  \nMay, 1994  \nAddendum  \nPlease note that the General Aptitude Test Battery (Forms E & F) referred to within this report has been renamed the Ability Profiler (Forms 1 & 2) . The name of the assessment was changed to reflect: 1) the focus on reporting a profile of score results from the instrument for career exploration purposes; 2) the technical improvements made to the assessment compared to previous forms of the instrument; and 3) the capacity to use the Ability Profiler in conjunction with other instruments to promote whole person assessment for career exploration.  \nBACKGROUND  \nAt the request of the United States Department of Labor (USDOL) in response to recommendations made by the National Research Council’s Committee on the General Aptitude Test Battery, a panel of industrial/organizational psychologists was assembled in December, 1993, in Washington, D.C., by the American Institutes for Research to discuss and provide technical/scientific guidance regarding issues associated with the speededness of the General Aptitude Test Battery’s (GATB) power tests. The power tests are: Computation (Part 2), Three-Dimensional Space (Part 3), Vocabulary (Part 4), and Arithmetic Reasoning (Part 6) .  \nThe panel recommended increasing the time limits and decreasing the number of items in three of the tests: Three-Dimensional Space, Vocabulary, and Arithmetic Reasoning. The panel noted that the Computation construct can legitimately be viewed as having a speeded component and, therefore, recommended that the Computation test remain somewhat speeded. Their recommendations were made under the following constraints:  \n• Although the retention of a construct linkage with the GATB validity data base is desirable, this linkage could be weakened somewhat in the interest of making genuine improvements in the GATB.  \n• Test administration time cannot be dramatically increased.  \n• Because GATB Forms E and F must be completed by January, 1995, there is not sufficient time for the development of additional test items.  \n• The computer-administered GATB and the paper-and-pencil GATB should be interchangeable forms of the test.  \nBecause of these constraints and the panel’s recommendation to lengthen the time limits of the true power tests ofthe GATB, they also recommended dropping either the Form Matching test or the Tool Matching test from the GATB in order to avoid increasing the overall time of the battery.  \nThe Southern Assessment Research & Development Center (SARDC) was asked by USDOL’s Employment and Training Administration to examine the potential implications of deleting the Form Matching test from the GATB, to document those implications, and to develop alternative procedures for computing GATB aptitude composites. This paper provides the results of these activities.  \nCurrent Composites for Validity Generalization-GATB (VG-GATB)  \nApplicant Referral System  \nAptitudes Measured by the GATB  \nThe nine aptitudes measured by the GATB are listed below.
