SITUATION ADAPTABILITY EVALUATION FOR MILITARY MID-MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL This test has been designed to evaluate reactions of mid-management military personnel to various situations. The situations are based on actual case studies from a well-known Class I installation and represent a cross section of test data correlated to evaluate both reaction time to difficult situations as well as the soundness of each decision selected. There are ten objective-type questions. Read each question thoroughly. Place an "X" by the answer you feel is most correctly justified by the circumstances given. There is only one correct answer for each question presented.
