This research continues the study by Leshko and Vosseteig
(1975) along with further research conducted by Rowe , Rudeen,
and Wenke (1976) in the use of situational stimuli as an aid
in identifying and measuring executive capacity. Hypothesis
testing was conducted that used capacity indicators which
had been previously identified and isolated. Conclusions to
the earlier studies claim that an individual's response to
the questionnaire can be used to predict the potential
success or failure of that individual in an executive role. Whereas prior research deals with executives within the
private sector, the data base used in this study was
comprised of top military decision makers (07 and above)
from within the United States Army. The data from this
study was compared with those responses from the previous
studies. In addition, the data collected was used to present
a profile of today's U.S. Army Generals.
