Predictive validities of a psychological aptitude test battery for applicants for the Air Traffic Control (ATC) occupation were determined on the criteria of training success. Of 2174 applicants, tested over the period from 1982 through 1985, 201 started training. One hundred sixty five of them (82 percent) finished the three year traning with success. Univariate as well as multivariate analyses resulted in acceptable validity coefficients. Results of theoretical based parts of training were better predictable than those related to more practical elements of ATC training. This might be due to a reduced reliability of the criteria of practical training.
