SG11
1. (U) PURPOSE:
To outline the significant points of the visit of
SG11
CIA/ORD/ACD, and
CIA, to this office on 7 Dec 79.
SG11
2. (U) Permission for the visit had been approved by MAJ Stoner, OACSI.
3. (S)
During
visit of 15 Nov 79 (see MFR dated 16 Nov 79), we
had discussed the
development of the CIA program involving remote viewing
in the early 70's. One aspect of the program was the work done by
SG11
in developing personality profiles on the individuals involved
in their program. It was agreed that an informal exchange of data might
prove helpful to management personnel hence, today's meeting was arranged.
SG11
SG11 4. (S)
explained that he had accomplished personality
profiles on the people doing the remote viewing, on management personnel
involved in the program (i.e.
and on some of the researchers
from SRI. He felt that it was necessary to "understand" all the people
involved in the program not just the individuals doing the remote viewing.
He agreed that his sample base was small but feels that the following data
might be useful or considered in future selection processes:
a.
People were unusually sensitive.
b.
People were good analysts ...
c. People were curious, adventurous.
d. People were willing to try something new ...
e.
People had courage of own convictions
. .
f.
People were socializers.
..
g. People had above average IQ
.
h. People didn't like to stay in rut for very long, didn't
like routine matters

SUBJECT :
Summary of Visit by CIA Representatives, 7 Dec 79 (U)
5.
(U) We presented them with an overview of how we started our program,
including the criteria we used to select our personnel. Many of the profile
factors mentioned above were among the items we were looking for as we
screened our personnel (see MFR dated 21 Nov 78).
SG11
6. (U)
suggested that personality profile data might be very
helpful in future endeavors. He offered to give profile test to our
people with the goal of attempting to see if there were any "common
threads" that our personnel share with his past results. I told him that
I would consider his offer and get back to him.
7. (U) Another subject discussed was the possible dangers to the program
if one of our people became disgrunted, dissatisfied (or even dropped) with
the program. We all agreed that this was an area that needed to be looked
at very closely and to see if there are any possible safeguards one can
take.
