Formation Of A Dutch Joint Military Selection Centre

摘要

In the Netherlands there are four separate military selection centres in different locations for the Navy, the Army, the Air Forces and the Military Police. On financial and political grounds it has been decided to combine these four centres into one joint military selection centre in one location. The four different ways of psychological testing and interviewing must be therefore rearranged so that 80 percent of the 30.000 annual applicants will get the same procedure. In this lecture, attention shall be given to the present way of testing and interviewing of the Dutch Forces, and to the proposed method of joint selection. I will also speak about the possibilities and difficulties that arise when four adequately functioning systems have to be merged into one system.
