During recent years there has been a marked increase in the drop-on-request (DOR) rate among aviation officer candidates (AOC's). This type of attrition has been exceedingly difficult to predict because of a lack of good measures of motivation. This study examines the hypothesis that any substantial discrepancy between aptitude and achievement may well be a product of motivation and that scores based on such discrepancies may be useful in identifying potential DOR's. Quadrant analysis of two independent samples showed the high aptitude-low achievement quadrant to have a higher DOR rate than any other quadrant. It is recommended that this type of analysis be incorporated as a secondary selection tool upon completion of the environmental indoctrination stage of training. (Author)
