TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Psychological measures as predictors of military training performance JO - Journal of personality assessment A1 - Hartmann, Ellen A1 - Sunde, Tor A1 - Kristensen, Wenche A1 - Martinussen, Monica SP - 87 EP - 98 VL - 80 IS - 1 N2 - The predictive validity of 7 ability tests, the Big Five, and the Rorschach method administered to 71 male applicants at the Naval Special Forces (NSF) of Norway was evaluated based on pass/fail results in training. The findings showed: (a) small correlations between the ability tests, the Big Five scales, and the success criterion; (b) Rorschach variables measuring stress tolerance, reality testing, cognition, and social adjustment correlated significantly (r =.25 to.48) with pass/fail results in training, and (c) logistic regression analysis revealed that 3 of the Rorschach variables accumulated incrementally in the prediction of training completion when entered after the ability tests and the Big Five scales, thus supporting the merit of using Rorschach variables for predicting NSF training performance
