This work describes the development of a new psychological test for aviators. The Armstrong Laboratory Aviation Personality Survey was developed through the integration of clinical theory, psychometric methods, and empirical testing. It is currently given to all incoming U.S. Air Force pilot candidates. Using a sample of 6,047 student pilots, a thorough test development plan was accomplished. The 15 final test scales assess personality, psychopathology, and crew interaction styles. The scales have normative data and are demonstrated to be reliable and valid. The Armstrong Laboratory Aviation Personality Survey is recommended for use in the aviation community for both clinical and research purposes. Future research is recommended and needed in the areas of training, airframe, and special duty selection. Additional clinical work is indicated in the areas of psychiatric, psychological, and aeromedical evaluations.
