Abstract
IN 1948, Davis1 reported experimental evidence of significant association between manner of movement of controls in a simulator cockpit and (a) neurotic syndromes and (b) accident proneness among pilot trainees. In 1955, Venables2 reported experimental results confirming Davis's finding (a) above, also (c) non-significant correlation of psychomotor response variable with general intelligence and (d) significant association of response pattern, on a task of graded difficulty, with subsequent job-dismissal in a small industrial group (n = 18).
