Book excerpt: The feasibility of adapting the McBee Automatic Keysort System to Qualitative Personnel Requirements Information (QPRI) development was investigated using an existing Task Equipment Analysis to prepare a test model. Descriptive task statements were written on each card, and the following variables were coded and entered on the cards: location, task newness, ground support equipment, skill and knowledge, criticality, task, segment, and AFSC (position). This preliminary investigation indicated tha the McBee data reduction technique improves integration of human factors and hardware data making it possible to develop more effective QPRI reports in less time. In addition, a great deal of routine clerical work can be eliminated and analyses which under the present system are prohibitive will now be possible.
