With regard to Selection/Training,
SRI International will provide the
appropriate equipment,
facilities and personnel to accomplish the following
three-phase Selection/Training Task:
Phase 1: (a) Personality profile data will be collected from calibrated
remote viewers, both SRI and client, using an extended Wechsler
test. These data will come from two sources:
1. Data in hand already obtained from certain SRI viewers;
2. Administration of the extended Wechsler to those remote
viemers that can be made available for testing, both
from the SRI and client communities.
The testing will
be carried out by two experienced testers, one a
consultant to SRI (Dr. David Saunders, MARS
Measurements Assoc., Lawrenceville, NJ), and one an
SRI staff member (Dr. Michael Hecker ) .

(b) The data obtained in (a) will be analyzed in accordance with
the P.A. S. (Personality Assessment System) concept (see "An
Introduction to the Personality Assessment System, " by J. Winne
and J. Gittinger, Monograph Supplement No. 38, Clinical
Psychology Publishing Co., Inc., Brandon, Vermont).
(c) From the above analysis mill be extracted indications as to the
appropriate personality profile(s) of interest.

pre-screening test is effective in
selecting individuals with the Phase 1 (c) profiles, a second
group of individuals will be given both the pre-screening
and extended Wechsler tests and the correlations examined.

Phase 3:
Assuming success in Phases 1 and 2 in delineating individuals
with the appropriate profile(s) of interest, a series of remote
Viewing trials will be carried out with time and resources
remaining to verify that appropriately-profiled individuals
do exhibit a talent for remote viewing.

SECRE
Phase 2: (a) In parallel with the above effort,
self-report data (from such
tests as the Myers-Briggs and 16 PF questionnaire) collected
from the same sources will be examined for the purpose of
designing a pre-screening questionnaire. Analysis of this data
will be carried out using the B.P. S. (Behavior Prediction
System) concept to generate a scoring key capable of extracting
from self-report pre-screening data those individuals with the
profile (s) indicated in Phase 1 (c) as being the profile(s) of
interest.
