Biological Individuality of Man
Abstract
The report suggests that the concept of biological individuality is worthy of study as a means of identifying those persons who possess unique attributes or inadequacies for specific tasks or responsibilities. Many biological factors related to individual differences are known and can be quantified objectively and thus may permit the prediction of some performance capability of an individual. The background of work on biological individuality is reviewed, three examples are cited, and key investigators in these specific fields are identified. However, numerous other examples can be found to illustrate the effects of individual biological factors that impinge on human performance. The suggestions for future research emphasize the basic concerns for performance in a military environment that may reflect the expression of biological individuality.
