The US Army Research Laboratory is developing the Job Assessment Software System (JASS). JASS is a computer program to define and measure human aptitudes required to do a job. A person familiar with the job (designer, worker, trainee, etc.) uses JASS by answering “yes” or “no” to a series of questions. The answers identify the aptitudes required. For each required aptitude, JASS presents a 7-point scale to rate the aptitude level. JASS is based on the work of Dr. Edwin Fleishman (Fleishman & Quaintance, 1984) of George Mason University. This paper will describe JASS and its recent applications and will also describe current and anticipated efforts to further develop and improve the JASS tool.
