Aircrew Screening Instruments Review

Abstract

The purpose of this effort was to identify commercially available assessment instruments that may be useful in selecting USAF aircrew members. Only instruments and batteries cited in the scientific literature after 1984 were reviewed. Additionally, neuropsychological tests, instruments designed for clinical use, tests of strictly physiological functions (e.g., EEG), and instruments designed for medical recertification of aircrew members were not reviewed. Experimental instruments developed in universities or in government laboratories were not examined unless the associated literature indicated that they had been commercialized. To identify potential instruments, searches of on-line databases were conducted and 15 major test publishers and vendors were contacted. Each instrument was then evaluated on a variety of parameters relating to test administration and psychometric properties.
