  • Title: Personality characteristics of successful Navy submarine personnel.
    Author: Moes GS, Lall R, Johnson WB.
    Journal: Mil Med; 1996 Apr; 161(4):239-42. PubMed ID: 8935516.
    Abstract:
    This study evaluated the personality characteristics of senior enlisted and occupationally successful Navy submarine personnel. One hundred subjects completed the Schedule for Nonadaptive and Adaptive Personality (SNAP). Results indicated that the traits of detachment, propriety, and workaholism were most descriptive of the sample. Thirty-seven percent met SNAP criteria for a personality disorder, typically antisocial, obsessive-compulsive, or avoidant. The results are discussed in terms of adaptation to environmental demands aboard submarines. Suggestions for further research are offered.
