Synopsis

Because test scores that are part of its enlisted promotion system are not standardized, the U.S. Air Force emphasizes longevity and testtaking ability differently and randomly across and within specialties. Random emphasis implies that the Air Force cannot be sure it promotes individuals with the highest potential. The authors discuss a range of predictable outcomes the Air Force could achieve by adopting various standardization strategies.
