Abstract

1. An integrated medico-psychological program has been developed at the United States Coast Guard Academy.

2. Most of the work has been concerned with the evaluation of officer candidates.

3. Individual interviews by psychiatrist-psychologist teams, objective tests, and questionnaires have been used.

4. Typical results with reserve cadets show

(a) That the methods used here make possible an accurate prediction of success and failure in the training school.

(b) That objective ability tests and personal interviews are about equally efficient in predicting performance in training.

5. The conditions necessary for the effective use of selection methods are discussed.
