Abstract |
The usefulness of personality measures for predicting air traffic controllers' (ATCs) performance in addition to cognitive aptitudes was tested using NEO Personality Inventory (NEO?PI) results of 60 ATC candidates at admission to the training. Extroversion (E) and its facets Gregariousness (E2) and Positive Emotions (E6) were valid and useful negative predictors of performance over and above cognitive ability level. E, E2, and E6 added to the variance of success in career (8.2%, 12.6%, and 12.7%, respectively). E2 and E6 proved their usefulness for predicting supervisory ratings, adding significantly to the total variance (7.9% and 12.1%, respectively). |
