MECHANICAL APTITUDE VI. A RE-ANALYSIS OF THE ARMY AIR FORCE BATTERY OF MECHANICAL TESTS

Abstract

The purpose of this analysis is a re-examination of the Army Air Force factor analysis of mechanical tests with respect to certain alternate views of rotation and simple structure. Since this battery represents the AAF's principal research in this area, it seems appropriate to examine the results and interpretations of the battery with respect to those of a similar study in the Navy Mechanical Aptitude Series. The current paper constitutes a report in the latter series. This report was prepared as a part of a larger project in the study of mechanical aptitude.
