SELEKTIONS-STRATEGIE UND PSYCHOLOGISCHE TESTS BEI DER EIGNUNGSUNTERSUCHUNG VON BEWERBERN FUER DIE FLIEGERISCHE AUSBILDUNG BEI DER DLH

Selection of applicants for pilot training at the Deutsche Lufthansa is described. This is carried out in several steps, the most important of which are preselection and interview. The preselection is objective and based on degree of aptitude, which results from weighing of separate test results covering cognitive tests, personality scales, and psychomotor tests. The next phase covers the applicant's personality. The last step is an evaluation of the applicant in the following categories: interactive performance, adaptation, stress resistance, and motivation.
