 | The Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) test battery is the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) recently developed computerized selection test for Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCSs). Only one form of the AT-SAT battery was developed as part of the initial development and validation effort, meaning that all people who take the test receive the exact same items. The goals of the current study were to: 1) determine if repeated test ... |

| The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect that modifications in item response anchors have on responses to survey items. Twenty-nine items were administered in 1993 and 1995 as part of more extensive attitude surveys to two random samples of Federal Aviation Administration employees. Changes in the response scales (5-point Likert) between the two survey administrations ranged from no change at all to extensive re-anchoring of the response ... |

|
| Many tests that have traditionally been administered in paper-and- pencil format are now administered on a computer workstation. One disadvantage of computer administered tests, however, is the inadvertent measurement of extraneous abilities related to prior experience with a computer keyboard or mouse. Surprisingly, there has been little written in the scientific literature about the use of computers in the selection process by organizations. The ... |

| Over the last few decades, researchers have consistently found a negative relationship between the age of Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCSs)and both training success and ratings of job performance (Trites, 1961; Trites &Cobb, 1962; Cobb, 1967; VanDeventer & Baxter, 1984). As more ATCSs reach retirement age and the FAA prepares for renewed hiring efforts, there is a need to once again explore this issue. According to Schroeder, Broach, and Farmer ... |
