The purpose of our investigation was to determine if computer-based selection tests could predict training track assignment for student naval aviators. This study evaluated the predictive efficacy of an experimental battery of computer-based pilot selection tests for training classification. Student naval aviators are currently assigned to an aircraft training track based primarily on performance in primary training. Students were tested on the experimental test battery and classified into one of ...
The purpose of our investigation was to determine if personality testing and a five-factor model could improve the selection of Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) vehicle crew members. Vehicle crew members for the LCAC are currently selected on the basis of their performance on a computer-based psychomotor selection system. The various psychomotor tests in the selection system have demonstrated predictive validity in LCAC crew training. Certain personality characteristics may also ...
This study concerns the relationship of naval flight training performance to scores on the Aviation Qualification Test/Flight Aptitude Rating (AQT/FAR) and the automated Pilot Personality Questionnaire (PPQ). We analyzed a sample of 211 pilot candidates who had taken the AQT/FAR and PPQ. We found that the PPQ competitiveness scale and three of the AQT/FAR subtest score means were significantly different (p < .05) for those who passed (N = 168) ...
