The US Army Research Institute is conducting research to improve the quality of the Army's aviator selection testing program. The research is motivated by increasing costs of training and by changing aviator ability requirements due to advanced aircraft and modern tactics. This paper describes the development of a new criterion variable to support the testing improvement research.
