STATEMENT OF WORK
(U)
1.
(U)
GENERAL
1.1
(S /CL- 3 /NOFORN)
The objective
of
this effort
is
to investigate
a particular aspect
of psychoenergetics relating
to operational management
of personnel;
that
is,
determine
if
a personality testing technique can be
created,
which when applied
to
a general population will delineate
specific
individuals who exhibit
a higher degree
of
talent
for remote viewing.
1.2
(U)
MAJOR GOALS
a.
(S/CL-3/N0F0RN)
Phase
I
:
Apply personality testing with
proven remote viewer personnel
from SRI and Project CENTER LANE,
and
determine
testing profile(s)
that can
be used
to identify personnel with
an aptitude
for remote viewing.
b.
( S /CL-3 /NOFORN )
Phase
II
:
Test
these
same
individuals
with "self-report"
type
tests,
and compare
the results
of
these
tests with
the previously identified profile(s)
to determine testing accuracy.
Apply
the
identified profile(s)
against
a general
test population and segregate
persons who show
a talent for remote viewing from those who do not.
c.
( S / CL-3 /NOFORN )
Phase
III
:
Test
the personnel who
show
a
talent
for remote viewing against randomly selected
targets;
test
the
personnel who did not show
a
talent against
the
same
targets.
d.
(S /CL- 3 /NOFORN)
Provide
an overall evaluation of
the above
three phases with conclusive recommendations.
If
the first two phases
produce negative results,
an overall evaluation
of
those
two phases will
be made,
including
a recommendation
for further action.
2.
(U)
SPECIFIC TASKS
2.1
(U)
Phase
I
a.
(S /CL-3 /NOFORN)
Personality profile data from proven remote
viewers will
be collected.
Data will
be collected from proven personnel--
those
identified
by
SRI
as well
as Project CENTER LANE participants.
b
.
(U)
The data will
be collected by using an extended
Wechsler
Test.
c.
(U)
it
is planned
that testing will
be carried out under
laboratory conditions by two experienced
testers:

(U)
MARS Measurements Association
(SRI Consultant),
Lawrenceville
,
New Jersey;
and
Dr. Michael
Hecker
(an
SRI
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/NOFORN)
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 /NOFORN)
A compar ison
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.
