| Abstract | In order to develop tools for use in the selection and vocational-educational guidance of U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen, three empirically-based scales, designed using the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB), were developed to predict three criteria: (1) disenrollment for academic reasons, (2) disenrollment for motivational reasons, and (3) military aptitude. The Naval Academy classes of 1971, 1972, and 1973 took the SVIB, and an empirical criterion keying approach was used to select those items having the 75 best responses for each of four different academic major groupings. Twenty alternative item response weighting methods were evaluated. For each of the four problems, a number of different response weighting methods had essentially the same effectiveness. A parsimonious conclusion would suggest the continued use of the common procedure of assigning positive or negative unit weights to the responses. However, scale test-retest reliability and scoring costs are two pertinent factors which should be included in an overall evaluation of alternative item response weighting procedures for a particular application.
