A preliminary study of a test for air traffic controllers

Abstract

Atest, employing the analogies format, was constructed from diagrams representing jet aircraft on a radar scope. Ss were air flight controllers; from their verbalized reactions to the test problems, sketches were prepared describing each S's attitudes and methods of handling the potential confrontations indicated. When these sketches were read to 3 members of the training staff of the Oberlin FAA Center, each judge made a perfect score in identifying the Ss.
