Abstract

The new tests reported in this article are for muscular strength and endurance, rapidity of complex reactions, judgment of curves, learning and recall of pathways, and judgment of relative speed. In the judgment of curves there is a tendency to overestimate the distance. The distribution of the scores is very wide. In the estimate of relative speeds an interesting illusion developed, in that the speed of the slower moving object was always overestimated with respect to that of the faster. The correlations between the tests and aviation ratings were positive, but very low. This was due partly to the variability of the test scores and partly to the fact that the aviation ratings were influenced to a considerable extent by military, personal, social and other considerations, that were not directly connected with ability to fly.
