Predicting Proficiency on Visual Sonar Displays: Validation of a Test Battery

Abstract

The results of previous research suggested that a battery of 3-4 specific visual/perceptual tests would be employed to predict proficiency as an operator of visual sonar displays. This test battery was validated on a new group of AN/BQQ-5 and AN/BQQ-6 sonar technicians and once again moderate multiple correlations were produced. The tests include measures of near vision, intelligence, experience and personality; their implications for maximum utilization of sonar technicians are discussed.
