The current study aims to explore the relationship between a cadet’s personality and his flight performance. There are two indexes for flight performance in this study: one is passed or failed at the flight training courses; the other is a cadet’s score for the flight training courses (i.e., high passed or low passed). The results show that the passed beginners have higher scores on “ego strength”, “dominance”, “elation”, and have lower scores on “warmth”, “emotional sensitivity”, and “guilt proneness” in comparison with the failed candidates on their scores of 16PF. In addition, comparing the high passed with the low passed, the results show that the high passed ones have higher scores on the “persistence”, “boldness”, and “bohemianism” than that of the low passed. The current results suggest that pilot selection should not only focus on the pass or failure at the flight training, but also should consider cadets’ flight performances among the passed ones. However, in the current epoch, it is very difficult to recruit high potential candidates for air force academy in Taiwan. In this regard, it is important to combine psychological tests, counseling, guidance, and education to enhance cadets’ flight performances. |
