Report Date: October 1971
Authors: Cobb BB
Abstract: The study concerns the experimental use of seven commercially published aptitude tests at the Keesler AFB and Clynco NAS air traffic control (ATC) training schools, the determination of relationships between the aptitude scores and training-course performance measures of Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy students, and an assessment of the potential with which such aptitude measures might be used to improve the military ATC-selection programs. The seven tests were selected for the study on the basis of validation data obtained in previous research with ATC trainees of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
