Nontasak, T. and Street, D. R. (1994): The Relationship of Psychomotor Skill to Perceived Proficiency on a Self-Reported Biographical Inventory. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. p. 977.

“This study examined the potential usefulness of perceived psychomotor skill as an adjunct to landing craft air cushion (LCAC) crew selection. Currently, LCAC vehicle crew members are selected based on their performance on a test battery involving cognitive and psychomotor skill. The ongoing assessment of these entry requirements is essential for selecting the most qualified candidates. Training performance has also been demonstrated to relate to various personality and background inventory (BI) items. The BI consists of items that reflect an individual's perceived level of psychomotor skill. We determined if perceived psychomotor skills are related to actual psychomotor abilities. One hundred and ninety subjects were administered a computer-based psychomotor selection test battery that included experimental personality and BI items. We compared the responses regarding perceived skill to performance on the psychomotor tests. Our correlation analysis results revealed a significant positive relationship between perceived and actual psychomotor skills (p <.05). The results suggest that certain BI items may be useful in initial screening of potential LCAC crew trainee candidates. Implications for selection and training are discussed.”
