Comparison of Experimental U.S. Air Force and Euro-NATO Pilot Candidate Selection Test Batteries

Abstract

Air Force personnel from several countries currently are evaluating computerized test batteries as an adjunct to current pilot candidate selection procedures. This paper describes and compares proposed U.S. Air Force (USAF) and Euro-NATO Aircrew Selection Working Group (ACSWG) pilot candidate selection test batteries. A validation strategy for the ACSWG test battery is described that focuses on test item analyses (e.g., evaluating internal consistency), evaluation of test scoring procedures, evaluation of test battery factor structure, and evaluation of test scores against training performance criteria.
