Abstract

The study examined the potential use of a multilevel personality questionnaire “Adaptability” during professional and psychological selection in the Armed Forces of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. A total of 445 men aged 18–26 years who were indigenous Vietnamese living in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and undergoing military service in the People’s Navy and Land Forces of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam were examined. An adapted version of the multilevel personality questionnaire “Adaptability-4” was used and translated to Vietnamese. The success of military professional activity was assessed based on the results of a survey of direct supervisors who evaluated their subordinates according to a specially designed questionnaire. Based on the statistical analysis of the results, the indicators of the multilevel personality questionnaire “Adaptability” were normalized, and a table was formed for the translation of “raw” scores into normalized scores (walls). A formula has also been developed to calculate the success rate according to the “discipline” criterion, which reveals significant differences between the “successful” group (average value 5.35 walls) and the “unsuccessful” group (average value 4.22 walls) at the level of difference p < 0.01. The results indicated that the modified version of the multilevel personality questionnaire “Adaptability-4” adapted for the military personnel of the Vietnamese People’s Army and Navy can predict the success of military professional activities according to the discipline domain. The questionnaire can be used during professional psychological selection in the Armed Forces of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
