A CANONICAL ANALYSIS OF NAVAL AVIATION CADET CRITERION GROUP DIFFERENCES.

Abstract

Previous research on selected groups of naval aviation cadets indicated that the Mechanical Comprehension Test (MCT), Flight Aptitude Rating (FAR), and age selection measures together significantly discriminated and predicted successful and attrition groups at the end of primary naval air training. This study determines what predictor components or factors accounted for the significant distance or variation between criterion groups and to describe these groups with respect to the minimum number of standardized dimensions of variation.
