INTRODUCTION
(U)
(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
In response
to correspondence from Army INSCOM dated
27 April
1983
and
2 August
1983,
and
to discussions with
INSCOM personnel
on
7 and
8 September
1983,
SRI International
submits
this proposal
to
initiate
the
selection
of personnel
for Remote Viewing
(RV)
tasking.
(S/CL-1/N0F0RN)
To accomplish
the proposed program,
SRI will provide
the facilities,
materials,
SRI
staffing,
and
consultants
to perform the
tasking outlined
in
the
INSCOM Statement
of Work dated
2 August
1983.
Detailsof
the effort
are
specified
in
the following
section.

Staff Member).
d.
(U)
The data obtained will
be analyzed
in accordance with
the Personality Assessment System
(PAS)
concept.
e.
(U)
The above analysis will provide
the basis upon which
specific
and appropriate personality profile(s)
of
interest will
be
designated;
those profiles will
be extrapolated
for use during Phase
III.
f.
(U)
An
interim report of
findings
from Phase
I will
be
provided
2.2
(U)
Phase
II
(Will
be
run
in parallel with Phase
I.)
a.
(S/CL-2/N0F0RN)
Self-report data will
be collected
from
the
selected
individuals within
SRI
and
the CENTER LANE Project.
These
will
be
the
same
individuals
selected
for
testing under Phase
I.
b.
(U)
The
self-report data will
be determined
from tests
such
as
the Myers-Briggs
and
the
16-PF questionnaires.
Testing will
be
under
laboratory conditions,
and will
be used
to design
a prescreening
questionnaire
c.
(U)
Analysis
of
the self-report data will
be performed
using
the
Behavior
Prediction
System
(BPS)
concept
to generate
a scoring
key capable
of
extracting
those
individuals with profile(s)
indicated within
Phase
I,
as being profile(s)
of
interest.
d.
(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
The self-report
test criteria will
be
applied
against
a general
population.
The general population will
contain
the previously
selected
SRI
and
CENTER LANE remote viewer personnel.
e.
(U)
To
test whether
the prescreening
(self-report)
test
is
effective
in selecting
individuals with
the Phase
I profiles,
a second
group
of
individuals will
be given both
the prescreening
and
extended
Wechsler
tests under
like
laboratory conditions,
and
the correlations
between
these results
and
the previous
results will
be
evaluated.
f.
(U)
An
interim report
of
findings
from Phase
II will
be
provided
2.3
Phase
III
(Assuming
success
in Phases
I
and
II,
the following
will
be accomplished.)
a.
(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
The appropriate profile(s)
developed
through
testing during Phases
I
and
II will
be used
to delineate
individuals
into
two groups:
those with remote viewing potential
as well
as
those who do not
show potential

b.
(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
Personnel who show potential
in remote
viewing will
then be
tested
(under
laboratory conditions)
against
a
randomly selected group
of targets.
c.
(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
Personnel not
selected
as having potential
will also be
run
(under
laboratory conditions)
against
the
same
selected
group
of
targets.
d.
(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
A comparison
of both groups
of personnel
will
then be made
to determine
the validity
of selection criteria developed
and presented
from Phases
I
and
II.
e.
(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
Should
it
be proven by failure
in Phases
I
and
II that
a personality profile cannot be developed that will assist
in
selecting appropriate remote viewer personnel,
then Phase
III will
be
canceled with
the concurrence
of
the
sponsor,
and
all monies
left transferred
to ongoing remote viewer training.
