We hypothesized that willingness to take risks may contribute to success in flight training. One hundred and twenty one naval flight students selected for undergraduate pilot training were administered the risk test prior to entry into flight training. An additional group of 18 experienced naval pilots was tested for comparative purposes. Risk test measures were evaluated for correlation with the flight students' scores on the Navy's primary selection test battery. The significant results indicated that risk-taking was inversely related to success in naval aviation; non-significant trends indicated an opposite relation. Further research is needed to clarify results. Keywords: Reprints, Personality. (kr) 收起
