     Personality Profiles of U.S. Navy Sea-Air-Land (SEAL) Personnel.

Abstract:
     One hundred thirty-nine U.S. Navy Sea-Air-Land (SEAL) personnel completed
     the NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI). The average profiles were compared to
     adult male norms for five broadly defined domains.
SEALs scored lower in
     neuroticism and agreeableness, average in openness, and higher in
     extraversion and conscientiousness compared to these two populations.
High
     extraversion and conscientiousness scores have been shown to predict job
     performance in other professions.

SEALs seek excitement and dangerous
     environments, but are otherwise stable, calm, and rarely reckless or impulsive.
     Although this average profile may not characterize any individual SEAL, we
     believe this study provides the most comprehensive personality profile of Navy
     SEALs to date.
