To support the performance-based selection of LCAC operators, we identified and evaluated a battery of personality, cognitive, and psychomotor tests at the Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory. Initial results indicate that several tests are predictive of LCAC training criteria. Twenty-six LCAC trainees took the test battery prior to their entry into the LCAC training program. We collected and analyzed training performance data from the trainees at the end of the course of training. Descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients were derived. Psychomotor and risk test performance demonstrate a significant relationship with the LCAC performance criteria. Initial results indicate that the use of computer-based testing will improve the selection of LCAC operators. The implications of these findings for LCAC personnel selection are discussed.
