number to a manageable amount. IGFP screened the candidates to
ensure equal participation across the intelligence fields of
SIGINT, PHOTINT and HUMINT, and after an extensive review of the
interviews, 15 individuals were selected as prime candidates.
However, it was the opinion of IGFP personnel that approximately
a individuals possessed the requisite potentials desired for
the IGFP.
2. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) In early 1980, IGFP participants were
tested by the INSCOM Command Psychologist in an attempt to
determine a suitable profile by which further participants could
be identified. The tests administered were:
a. (U) Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
b. (U) Gordon Personal Profile Inventory.
c. (U) Fundamental Interpersonal Relations
Orientation-Behavior (FIRO-B).
d. (U) California Psychological Inventory.

f. (U) Personal Orientation Inventory.
For the most part, the group was emotionally stable with no
marked trends. There did appear to be an interesting similarity
in defensive style, a tendency toward artistic, aesthetic, and
cultural interests, and an introversive style of emotional
expression. From these test results, the command psychologist
constructed a test known as the "INSCOM Factor Questionnaire" to
be used with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the 16 PF as
initial screening tools in the selection of new project
participants. Individuals who scored within parameters
specified by the command psychologist then received personal
interviews with the project management personnel. From those
interviews and testing procedures, new project participants were
selected. This selection process was implemented in mid-1980
and is in effect today.
3. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) When the Under Secretary of Defense for
Research and Engineering authorized the use of P-6 resources in
1983 to continue INSCOM capabilities in psychoenergetics, the
INSCOM CENTER LANE Project (ICLP) Manager solicited a proposal
from SRI-International for the development of a state-of-the-art
psychological screening/selection profile for use in identifying
potential sources. The profile will identify personnel who may
have some psychoenergetic talent or who could be trained to
perform psychoenergetic functions. The ICLP Manager awarded a
contract to SRI-International for development of the profile on
15 November 1983. SRI-International will complete work on the
profile by December 1984.
4. (S/CL-3/NOFORN) On 10 November 1983, CG, INSCOM directed
the use of the Rapid Acquisition Personnel Training (RAPT)
Seminar at Monroe Institute of Applied Sciences, Faber, Virginia
as a screening and sensitizing tool for ICLP. For OPSEC
reasons, RAPT was funded and administered by the INSCOM
Organizational Effectiveness Office (CENTEX), but managed by the
ICLP Manager. RAPT was cancelled as a screening tool for ICLP
on 13 March 1984.
