There were 29 (80%) subjects from a squadron of 36 F-16 pilots who vol
untarily participated in a newly developed anonymous, self-administere
d, computerized tasting protocol. The test battery consisted of two 2.
5 h blocks their gathered demographic information and measured persona
lity (MMPI-2), cognitive capacity (MAB), crew coordination skills (PCI
), and history of psychiatric diagnoses (C-DIS). The test battery also
included a peer rating survey that collected information about the sq
uadron's top performers and their personal qualities. Results indicate
d that aviators can agree who are top performers and what personal qua
lities are important in top performers. This pilot project demonstrate
d the success of the battery to gather aircrew information in a field
location. Test data are presented.
