Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to determine whether the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) scores, specifically the composite of ASVAB subtests (AR + 2MK + GS) used to predict eligibility for formal training in the Aviation Antisubmarine Warfare Operator (AW) rating, can actually predict the success or failure of enlisted personnel attempting the P-3 fleet readiness squadron (FRS) Acoustic Operator syllabus. This was accomplished by computing a Pearson Product - Moment Correlation Coefficient, corrected for restriction in range, to determine the correlation between ASVAB subtest and composite scores and
success or failure in the FRS syllabus. The results indicate that ASVAB scores are only slightly predictive of performance.
