“…In stark contrast, personality traits have long been evaluated within aviation research and found to be linked to crew coordination 10 , training success 11 , and pilot selection 12 . Pilots appear to have high extraversion scores (particularly evident in facets such as assertiveness, activity, and excitement seeking) when compared to population norms 13 . Pilots also score lower on neuroticism than non-pilot peers, indicating an ability to handle fear, anxiety and stress 14,15 .…”

“…The present study investigated possible differences in trait EI between pilots and the general population in the United States. Given the dearth of trait EI research within aviation and the close links between trait EI and personality 1,3 , our research design was modelled on previous studies into the personality traits of pilots (e.g., [13][14][15] ). Participants were evaluated using a standardized psychometric instrument (Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire; TEIQue), allowing for a statistical comparison of two distinct groups: pilots vs non-pilot controls.…”

There is a dearth of trait emotional intelligence (trait EI) research within an aviation context. Using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue), the present study investigated potential trait EI differences between pilots and general population controls in the United States. The forty-four pilots who volunteered to participate were primarily male (93%) and between 24 and 67 years with a wide range of flight experience (150–5000 + hrs.) They were matched with controls based on age, gender, and ethnicity. Comparisons on global trait EI and the four trait EI factors revealed significant differences, with pilots scoring consistently lower than their matched counterparts in global trait EI, Well-being, Emotionality, and Sociability, but not Self-control. Overall, the findings indicated that pilots felt less connected to their emotional world than controls. Though limited by sample size and participant diversity, the results provide a basis for future studies into the trait EI profile of pilots, which had not been previously investigated.

“…An extensive meta-analysis of the literature over the past 20 years regarding military pilot selection conducted by Paullin et al (2006) reported that personality traits relevant to pilot performance include conscientiousness, integrity, achievement orientation, emotional stability, resilience, cognitive flexibility, openness, self-confidence, self-esteem, and risk tolerance. Such traits have been found among pilots from the USAF (Boyd, Patterson, & Thompson, 2005), Army (Grice & Katz, 2007), and Navy 1993), as well as National Aeronautics Space Association (NASA) astronauts (Fitzgibbons, Davis, & Schutte, 2004).…”

Female U.S. Air Force (USAF) pilots represent a unique group of women in a challenging, high-risk, and male-dominated profession. Aside from ability and motivation, personality characteristics are considered to play a key role in succeeding as a military pilot (Paullin, Katz, Bruskiewicz, Houston, & Damos, 2006). This study evaluated psychological baseline test scores from the NEO Personality Inventory-Revised (NEO PI-R) on the current inventory of rated USAF female (n = 512) and male (n = 9630) pilots in an effort to (a) provide modern normative data on the personality traits of current USAF female pilots, (b) identify personality traits that distinguish female pilots from male pilots and non-pilot females in the civilian normative sample, and (c) assess for meaningful personality differences within female pilots across specific airframes (e.g., fighter/bomber, reconnaissance/surveillance, tanker/transport, and helicopter). The results of the study aim to shed light on objective personality traits and differences and assist clinical psychologists with the interpretation of NEO PI-R psychological test scores when evaluating USAF female pilots. A case vignette is provided to illustrate practical application of study findings.
