Basic Attributes Tests (BAT) System: Development of an Automated Test Battery for Pilot Selection

Basic Attributes Test (BAT): A Preliminary Comparison Between Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) and Officer Training School (OTS) Pilot Candidates

“…Individual test summaries are presented below. Illustrations of BAT test items are provided in Appendix C, and detailed scoring procedures are provided In Appendix D. BAT apparatus specifications and details regarding hardware and software development are provided in Carretta (1987a).…”

“…The Basic Attributes Test (BAT) battery Is a set of computer-administered personnel tests developed for Individual administration under standardized conditions (Carretta, 1987a). The BAT battery Is designed to provide measures of psychomotor skills, cognitive and perceptual abilities, personality characteristics, and attitudes believed to be related to United States Air Force (USAF) flying training performance (Imhoff & Levine, 1981).…”

Building a Joint-Service Classification Research Roadmap: Individual Differences Measurement

“…The Air Force developed the Basic Attributes Test (BAT) to supplement the AFOQT for pilot selection (Carretta, 1987a(Carretta, , 1987b(Carretta, , 1987c. The BAT is not currently in use, but the Air Force plans to administer the BAT at ROTC field encampments and selected colleges in the near future.…”

The Identification of Ability Requirements and Selection Instruments for Fighter Pilot Training

“…The ACSWG fighter pilot selection battery was programmed on modified Portable Basic Attributes Test systems (i.e., PortaBAT; see Carretta, 1987 for a description). Rudder pedals on loan from the UK were added for use in the Complex Coordination test.…”
