Totally agree with the above statement. I remember someone once saying, "hire them for their attitude, train them for their skills", as oppose to the other way around. I'm skeptical that a pych test could be so accurate in determining the suitability of pilots, given the diverse range of experiences and backgrounds that people come from.
