(U) Permission for the visit had been approved by MAJ Stoner, OACSI. 3. (S) During IMM|visit of 15 nov 79 (see MFR dated 16 Nov 79), we had discussed the development af the CIA program involving remote viewing in the early 70's. One aspect of the program was the work done by SG1l ej developing personality profiles on the individuals involved in their program. It was agreed that an informal exchange of data might prove helpful to management personnel hence, today's meeting was arranged. SG1l 4. (S) ]MMfexplained that he had accomplished personality SG1I profiles on the people doing the remete viewing, on management personnel involved in the program (i.e. and.on some of the researchers From SRI. He.felt that it was necessary to "understand" all the people involved in the program not just the individuals doing the remote viewing. He agreed that his sample base was small but feels that the following data might be useful or considered in future selection processes: a. People were unusually sensitive... b. People were good analysts... c. People were curious, adventurous..... d. People were willing to try something new... e. People had courage of own convictions.... f. People were socializers.... g- People had above average IQ...... h. People didn't like to stay in rut for very long, didn't like routine matters...e.e.

(U) We presented them with an overview of how we started our program, including the criteria we used to select our personnel. Many of the profile factors mentioned above were among the items we were looking for as we screened our personnel (see MFR dated 21 Nov 78). 6. (U) EE suggested that personality profile data might be very helpful in future endeavors. He offered to give profile test to our people with the goal of attempting to see if there were any "common threads" that our personnel share with his past results. I told him that I would consider his offer and get back to him. 7. (U) Another subject discussed was the possible dangers to the program if one of our people became disgrunted, dissatisfied (or even dropped) with the program. We all agreed that this was an area that needed to be looked at very closely and to see if there are any possible safequards one can take. wWrpAw. aN MURRAY B.)

Finally,
COL Wilmot tasked me

to begin formulating

I assured COL Wilmot that we were already working on

One aspect of the program was the work done by

profiles on the people doing WT^remot^/iewing,

just the individuals doing the remote viewing.

SUBJECT:
Summary
of Visit by CIA Representatives,
7 Dec 79
(U)
5.
(U)
We presented them with an overview of how we started our program,
including the criteria we used to select our personnel.
Many
of the profile
factors mentioned above were among the items we were looking for as we
screened our personnel
(see MFR dated
21 Nov 78).
6.
(U)
suggested that personality profile data might be very
helpful in future endeavors.
He offered
to give profile test
to our
people with the goal
of attempting to see if there were any "common
threads" that our personnel share with his past results.
I told him that
I would consider his offer and get back to him.
7.
(U)
Another subject discussed was the possible dangers to the program
if one of our people became disgrunted,
dissatisfied
(or even dropped)
with
the program.
We all agreed that this was an area that needed to be looked
at very closely and to see if there are any possible safeguards one can
take.
