Question

B) The Pilot Personality (for this one also identify the reliability of the test).
Test scores for the Eysenck Personality Inventory and Cattell’s 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) were obtained from male army applicants for flyer training. Forms A and B were used for each test, and the correlations between forms for the same test ranged from .39 to .85. Some of the men entered flying school several years after taking the tests. The correlations of the subscales on the two tests with training outcome (pass or fail) averaged about .20. How to answer this question?

Explanation / Answer

the biggest confounding variable is the inclusion of the population who entered the flying school several years after taking the test. this may have caused the reliability of the tests to go down. the obtained correlation of .20 is very weak positive correlation, therefore to establish the success of the training based on this number is not possible. the reliability score of .39 to .85 between the two personality questionnaires ranges from weak positive to strong positive. this is bound to happen as both the personality questionnaires are based on the factor analysis model of personality.
