While the old criteria assessed basic knowledge, subject knowledge, and performance capacity, current needs require additional measures of leadership ability. The characteristics indicative of leadership relate to interaction with others; self-concept, self-control, and motivation; decisionmaking, oversight, and command aptitude; and planning, organizing, and administrative skills. The new battery of tests will specifically measure verbal and nonverbal intelligence; motor coordination, perception, and memory; and personality and attitude factors. Self-evaluation of abilities and biographical factors will also be considered. The training program is to be enhanced by stress management instruction for all officers.
