No I passed the actual psychometric elements of the BA CEP/TPS - it was the psychologist that did for me both times

If you could only see the maths and the research behind many of the pilot selection tests then you would be convinced.

Any results dervied from studies have to follow proper scientific practice of lab report and peer evaluation. Any result must stand up to standard statistical analysis. Generally correlations of .82 or better are required.

Trainee pilots seem to hold test pilots in awe and pilot tests in contempt. An ignorance of the work of both is to blame.
