The Tailored Adaptive Personality Assessment System (TAPAS) was developed to improve the selection of new military recruits by predicting motivational outcomes such as job effort, physical fitness, and drive to perform at high standards.

It is a personality test administered at MEPS to determine what you Can-Do (CD) and Will-Do (WD). There are no right or wrong answers, but it is a military test and should be answered accordingly.

TAPAS is administered to all Education Tier 1 and many Tier 2 non-prior service applicants who take the ASVAB at MEPS.

TAPAS minimum passing scores for testers are set as follows: Tier 1 (74 Will Do and 74 Can Do); Tier 2 (90 Will Do Only). A score of 130 Can Do (CD) is well above the minimum.

Based on the U.S. Army Research Institute’s (ARI) investigations, the Army selected one promising measure, the Tailored Adaptive Personality Assessment System (TAPAS), for an initial operational test and evaluation (IOT&E), beginning administration to applicants in 2009.

In 2010, CNN reported that nearly a quarter of takers fail the Army entrance exam. Find out why.

Joining the Army isn’t right for everyone, but for some, the calling is just too strong to ignore. Here are some tips that will help you make the best choice for your life, family, and career, shared by Militaryspot.com.... Show More
