The four criteria included an evaluation of the man's social compatibility, emotional composure, and task efforts. As in previous studies of Antarctic station personnel, age was significantly related to performance. In the present study it was particularly related, in a positive direction, to emotional composure.

Individuals who were relatively heavy readers, had several hobbies, were active in sports, and belonged to various clubs were considered to be active individuals. Such activity, particularly for self oriented activity such as reading and hobbies, was negatively related to social compatibility. The third major find was that individuals with a past history of delinquent behavior tended to perform less well than those without such a history.
