Measures of prior school experience, motivation for working in a health care job, and personality were evaluated as potential predictors of success in Navy paramedical training. When, by multiple regression procedures, years of school completed, numbers of suspensions or expulsions from school, occupational motivation, and Comrey personality scale scores were combined with an aptitude measure that is used for guiding recruits into paramedical training, the cross-validity for predicting training completion was significantly increased (P less than 0.001) from 0.40 to 0.50. Practical means for applying these measures to the screening of candidates for paramedical training were developed. Results of the evaluation suggest that guiding people into jobs that they neither prefer nor perceive as congruent with their abilities and interests can significantly reduce the chances for occupational success.
对先前学校经历、从事医疗保健工作的动机和性格进行了评估，作为海军辅助医疗培训成功的潜在预测因素。当通过多元回归程序，将完成学业的年限、学校停学或开除的次数、职业动机以及康瑞人格量表得分与一种用于指导新兵参加辅助医疗培训的能力测试相结合时，预测培训完成情况的交叉效度从0.40显著提高到0.50（P小于0.001）。开发了将这些措施应用于辅助医疗培训候选人筛选的实际方法。评估结果表明，引导人们从事他们既不喜欢也不认为与其能力和兴趣相符的工作，可能会显著降低职业成功的机会。
