published in 1947.Since that time the GATB hasbeen included in a continuing program of research to validate the testsagainst success in many different occupations.Because of its extensiveresearch base the GATB has come to be recognized as the best validatedmultiple aptitude test battery in existence for use in vocational guidance.  \nThe GATB consists of 12 tests which measure 9 aptitudes:General LearningAbility,Verbal Aptitude,Numerical Aptitude,Spatial Aptitude,Form Per-ception,Clerical Perception,Motor Coordination,Finger Dexterity,andManual Dexterity.The aptitude scores are standard scores with 100 asthe average for thc general working population,with a standard deviationof 20.  \nOccupational norms are established in terms of minimum qualifying scoresfor each of the significant aptitude measures which,in combination predictjob performance.For any given occupation,cutting scores are set only forthose aptitudes which contribute to the prediction of performance of the jobduties of the experimental sample.It is important to recognize that anotherjob might have the same job title but the job content might not be similar.The GATB norms described in this report are appropriate for use only for jobswith content similar to that shown in the job description included in this report.  \nj  \nDeveloprnent of USTES Aptitude Test Battery  \nFor  \nOperating Engineer(const.)I
