Abstract
Ratings of personality and officer aptitude, objective and projective personality tests, measures of performance in stressful situations, the conditioning of the galvanic skin response, perceptual tests, and the analysis of urinary components were studied on 135 Air ROTC cadets at the University of Texas in a search for common factors of value in the prediction of adjustment to stress. Analysis of the intercorrelation matrix yielded 7 factors. In general, the degree of relationship among the measures derived from the different types of tests was very low. 21 references.Keywords
