Standardization of the GATB for the occupation of tabulating machine operator

Abstract

The development of national norms, based on the GATB, for tabulating machine operator, is described. For a sample of 203 operators, minimum aptitude score norms and validities (rating scale criterion) were as follows: G (general intelligence)-95, .34; N (numerical ability)-95, .36; S (spatial aptitude)-85, .20; Q (clerical aptitude) -100, .15. The tetrachoric r between pass-fail on the test norm composite and high-low criterion score was .48. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
