8. (S/NOFORN) PSYCHOENERGETIC APPLICATIONS: SUN STREAK sources can be used to perform psychoenergetic applications in support of intelligence and counterintelligence requirements (see paragraph 3, above). ‘The dynamics of applications sessions parallel those of training sessions. The sequence of events consists of the following: (1) tasking; (2) development of a collection plan; (3) conduct of psychoenergetic session(s); (4) reporting; (5) evaluation. Applications sessions are always conducted under the control and management of SUN STREAK personnel, Sessions may be conducted at Fort Meade or other locations as deemed necessary. Psychoenergetic consultants/contractors may be employed when required to meet applications requirements. 9. (S/NOFORN) ADDITIONAL COM! a. Selected personnel may use the hemi-syne environment in conjunction with psychoenergetic applications/training. b. Sources and trainees may he monitored using appropriate non-intrusive biological monitoring equipment. c. The maximum number of applications sessions for each source will not exceed ten per week.

(S/NOFORN) PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT: Psychoenergetic sessions will be conducted in an ordinary room at ambient temperature and humidity during the normal waking hours of the participants. The only limitations on these parameters will be for security from electronic eavesdropping and elimination of ordinary distractions, such as radio, office machinery, and outside noises.

However, the Board expressed concerns that future Army follow-on work might be classified as research, and as such, plans should be considered to establish credible human use. review procedures FOIABS to oversee GRILL FLAME activities. | In April 1980, the Under Secretary of the Army approved the continuation of GRILL FLAME activities. In October 1980, the DoD, DIA, and Army General Counsel jointly agreed that it would be prudent to obtain written approval from the Deputy Secretary of Defense to Approved For Release 2004/08/46: CIA-RDF'96-00789R001100020002-6 --- PAGE 23 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6 conduct GRILL FLAME activities. ACSI, DA concurrently initiated action to obtain Secretary of the Army approval to conduct GRILL FLAME activities. In September 1982, INSCOM GRILL FLAME activities ceased because of NFIP restrictions; INSCOM psychoenergetic activities were reinitiated in December 1982, under the INSCOM SUN STREAK Project (ICLP), an Sa&IA activity. Secretary or Under Secretary approval for GRILL FLAME/ICLP activities has been granted on 14 January 1981, 1 February 1982 and 1 September 1983. Approvals are generally valid for one year. With the pending transfer of ICLP resources to DIA, and while these same resources were OPCON to that agency, DIA legal counsel concluded that further Human Use approval would be required to enable the INSCOM/DIA hybrid program to train and/or operate on a provisional basis.

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI): Developed by S. R. Hathaway, Ph.D., and J. C. McKinley, M.D., The Psychological Corporation. The MMPI is designed to provide an objective assessment of some of the major personality characteristics that affect personal and social adjustment. The point of view determining the importance of a trait in this case is that of the clinical or personnel worker who wishes to assay those traits that are commonly characteristic of disabling psychological abnormality. The carefully constructed and cross-validated scales provide a means for measuring the Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6 --- PAGE 27 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6 personality status of literate adolescents and adults together with a basis for evaluating the acceptability and dependability of each test record. Nine scales were originally developed for clinical use of the inventory and were named for the abnormal conditions on which their construction was based. The scales were not expected to measure pure traits nor to represent discrete etiological or prognostic entities. Since they have been shown to have meaning within the normal range of behavior, these scales are now commonly referred to by their abbreviations--Hs (hypochondriasis), D (depression), Hy Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6 --- PAGE 28 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6 (Hysteria), Pd (psychopathic deviate), Mf (masculinity- femininity), Pa (paranoia), Pt (psychasthenia) , Sc (schizophrenia), and Ma (hypomania)--or by their code numbers to avoid possibly misleading connotations, Many other scales have subsequently been developed from the same items; Si (social introversion) is one that is commonly scored. There are also three validating scales: L (lie), F (validity), and K (correction). 2. Gordon Personal Profile - Inventory (GPI): Developed by Leonard V. Gordon, Ph.D., The Psychological Corporation. The GPI is companion instrument to the Gordon Personal Profile (GPP). It measures four additional traits, namely Cautiousness (C), Original Thinking (0), Personal Relations (P), and Vigor (v). The two instruments used together provide an economical Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6 --- PAGE 29 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6 coverage of eight important factors in the personality domain. Both have been found to be appropriate for use with high school, college, industrial, and general adult groups. 3. Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation - Behavior (FIRO - Bj): Developed by Will Schutz, Ph.D., Consulting Psychologists Press, Inc. The fundamental interpersonal dimensions of the FIRO Theory are; Inclusion (I), Control (C), and Affection (A) and are defined behaviorally as follows: I - The interpersonal need for inclusion is the need to establish Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6 --- PAGE 30 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6 and maintain a satisfactory relationship with people with respect to interaction and association (both positive or negative). C ~ The interpersonal need for control is the need to establish and maintain a satisfactory relationship with people with respect to control and power. A - The interpersonal need for affection is the need to establish and maintain a satisfactory relationship with others with respect to love and affection. 4. California Psychological Inventory (CPI): Developed by Harrison G. Gough, Ph.D., Consulting Psychologists Press, Inc. The CPI is intended primarily for use with "normal" (non-psychiatrically disturbed) subjects. Its scales are addressed to personality characteristics important for social living and social interaction, i.e., to variables that are woven into the fabric of everyday life. "Folk concepts" such as these are hypothesized to be relevant to the prediction and understanding of interpersonal behavior in any setting, culture, or circumstance. ‘Thus, although the inventory has been found to have special utility in work with particular kinds of problems, e.g., delinquent and asocial behavior, it can also provide information of value in regard to educational, vocational, familial, and many other issues. 5. Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS): Developed by Allen L. Edwards, Ph.D., University of Washington. The EPPS was designed primarily as an instrument for research and counseling purposes, to provide quick and convenient measures of a number Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6 --- PAGE 31 (OCR) --- Approved For Release 2004/08/16 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001100020002-6 of relatively independent normal personality variables. The statements in the EPPS and the variables that these statements purport to measure have their origin in a list of manifest needs presented by H. A. Murray and other noted psychologists. The names that have been assigned to the variables are those used by Murray. These 15 measurable personality variables are; achievement (ach), deference (def), order (ord), exhibition (exh), autonomy (aut), affiliation (aff), intraception (int), succorance (suc), dominance (dom), abasement (aba), nurturance (nur), change (chg), endurance (end), heterosexuality (het), and aggression (agg). In addition to the above 15 personality variables, the EPPS provides a measure of test consistency and a measure of profile stability. 6. Personal Orientation Inventory (POT): Developed by Everett L. Shostrom, Ph.D., Educational and Industrial Testing Service, San Diego, California. ‘The profile on the POI shows the degree to which the subject's attitudes and values compare with those of self-actualizing people. A self-actualizing person is one who is more fully functioning and who lives a more enriched life than does the average person. Such a person is developing and utilizing his unique talents to the fullest extent.
