结论	The SAT still has good predictive validity but could be augmented with other fitness tests. The majority of Air Force Career Field Managers (CFMs) who responded to a survey are satisfied with the current SAT requirements for the AFSCs they manage. Available measures are largely insufficient for conducting the statistical tests needed to evaluate the relationships between SAT scores, performance, and injuries. Analysis indicates that adding the Arm Endurance test to the SAT adds the most validity of any test. Analyses consistently found support for the predictive validity of the SAT and the related fitness tests evaluated in the study.
摘要	Maintain the SAT requirements currently in place while following an implementation plan to verify any of four recommended courses of action selected by the Air Force, including the following steps: Integrate job analysis physical demand survey items into Occupational Analysis Division's routine surveys of each AFSC. Provide CFMs and other senior leaders in each AFSC with the SAT requirements summary job analysis data for the AFSCs they manage. Collect feedback and address questions or concerns from CFMs and other senior leaders regarding job analysis survey results. Begin administering any new test(s) (e.g., Arm Endurance) at the Military Entry Processing Station (MEPS) to gather data on new Air Force recruits. Collect data on physical performance of recruits assigned to each AFSC. Use the test data collected from the MEPS and the physical performance data to verify the accuracy of the SAT requirement and to identify other test scores (i.e., requirements) associated with minimally effective task performance for each AFSC. Calibrate and adjust requirements based on feedback and data collected. Establish a system for regular monitoring and updating of test requirements.
