Combat performance: Measurement and prediction

Abstract

"This investigation has shown first, that ratings of combat performance and adjustment made in the field by peers, superiors, and psychologists are related to each other and to objective data collected at the same time; second, that combat criterion measures are predictable by precombat criteria of adjustment and performance; and finally, that a complex personality dimension called likability seems to be one of the most enduring characteristics of individuals."
