Large Scale Surveys
Throughout his career, Mr. Weissmuller has been associated with very large scale, world-wide surveys starting with his military and civil service years.  His first work dealt with recovering a 10,000 case data set survey the Professional Military Education Needs across the entire Air Force officer corps.  Later Mr. Weissmuller performed regression analysis on a large data set establishing Officer Grade Requirements from 1964.  Those equations were used which updated survey data (1972) to project ideal force strength for Air Force officer positions to recommend to congress.  Mr. Weissmuller modified occupational analysis programs to handle 14,000 cases from over 21 major federal agencies in support of the Federal Acquisition Institute project.  In 1976 and again in 1994, Mr. Weissmuller designed the data collection and analysis for the Occupational Learning Difficulty Project (about 120 job families).  These were in addition to supporting the USAF operational job inventories of approximately 800 tasks and 1,000 incumbents each (about 50 per year).  For many years, Mr. Weissmuller was in charge of maintaining a cumulative data base from all these surveys to support longitudinal analyses.
When Mr. Weissmuller left civil service, he founded Sensible Systems, Inc. (SSI) for the responsible spread of task-based occupational analysis.  SSI processed many surveys collected using traditional optical-scan forms (such as "All Civilian Supervisors in the U.S. Army, n=3000", "Texas Police Officers, n=5000", "U.S. Army Log AMPS, n=800")  SSI developed its own automated survey program (atSurvey, diskette based) and collected data for the Ford Motor Company (n=30,000 United States, n=5,000 Europe) for a single project.
While working for Metrica, Inc,. Mr. Weissmuller had a diskette based system (OASurv, based on atSurvey above) written to allow incumbent-supervisor surveys to capture "Time to Proficiency" ratings to feed advanced modeling systems.
Mr. Weissmuller co-founded the Institute for Job and Occupational Analysis (IJOA) to facilitate the development and responsible spread of information-rich job analysis methods.  Technical projects included global occupational analysis projects for the United States Air Force (Security Officers, Behavior Scientists) and the United States Army ("Common Soldier Enlisted Task Survey, n=18,000", "Top Enlisted Grades, n=8,000", "Band and Bandmaster, n=4,000").  Inter-Service research projects included work with the Air Force, Navy, and Marines, as well as the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force.  Mr. Weissmuller as instrumental in designing and validating diskette-based and Internet-based survey tools for world-wide surveys as well as transitioning traditional survey output products into Microsoft Office formats such as Word, Excel, Access and HTML for FrontPage.
