DESIGN OF A METHOD FOR RECORDING MEDICAL DATA SIGNIFICANT IN MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS FOR SUBMARINE SCHOOL CANDIDATES IN ORDER TO PERMIT RAPID ANALYSIS BY PUNCH CARD TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Some trends in the physical and psychological characteristics of enlisted candidates for the Submarine School, New London, Connecticut are reported. These trends are revealed by analyses of International Business Machine cards punched in accordance with the technique outlined in AD-622 216. A marked improvement in certain psychological characteristics is noted. There was an increase in the number of men failing standards for visual and auditory sensitivity. Motivation and physical examination data (exclusive of auditory and visual function) show no significant trend.
