“…One important early use of the MMPI involved the selection of military personnel for special duty assignments such as aviation training (Cerf, 1947;Fulkerson, Freud, & Raynor, 1958;Fulkerson & Sells, 1958;Garetz & Tierney, 1962;Geist & Boyd, 1980;Goorney, 1970;Jennings, 1948) or nuclear submarine training and naval diver training (Cook & Wherry, 1949;Weybrew, 1974Weybrew, , 1978Weybrew & Noddin, 1979). The MMPI has also been used extensively in evaluating training (Jensen & Rotter, 1947) and in predicting training failures (Altus, 1945;Altus & Bell, 1945;Bloom, 1977;Callan, 1972;Crook, 1944;Ekman, Friesen, & Lutzker, 1962;Lachar, 1974). Two additional areas of research in which the MMPI was widely used in the military service involved: (a) studies on the effects of harsh environmental conditions on human adjustment, such as with Naval personnel wintering in the Antarctic (Blackburn, Shurley, & Natani, 1973;Butcher & Ryan, 1974) and remote Alaskan stations (McCollum, 1951); and (b) the effects of imprisonment in a prisoner of war camp on later psychological adjustment (Sutker, Winstead, Goist, Malow, & Allain, 1986;Ursano, Wheatley, Sledge, Rahe, & Carlson, 1986;Wheatley & Ursano, 1982).…”
