The sample comprised 92 candidates who have completed the Ground School Phase of
the trainee pilot training programme. The independent variables are Raven's Advanced
Progressive Matrices Test, the Blox Test and the Vienna Determination Test. The
dependent variable is the candidates' results after the Ground School Phase of their
training. The results indicated that only the Advanced Ravens test and the Vienna
Determination test (Phase 3} correlate positively with the Ground School Phase results
of the candidates.
The current battery emphasises cognitive abilities and psycho-motor functioning and does
not cover personality traits of prospective candidates. It is recommended that new
instruments are included (to cover the measurement of personality traits), that the sample
size should be increased by promoting pilot training among previously disadvantaged
students and that the current pilot profile should be updated as a matter of urgency. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial Psychology)
