The 44 pilots who volunteered for the study varied in age from 24 to 67 years, with flight experience ranging from 150 to over 5,000 hours. They included both fixed-wing and rotary-wing pilots, but all were required to hold a currently valid flight qualification.TEIQue questionnaireThe researchers matched subjects on age, gender, ethnicity, and education, letting them control for factors that have been shown to affect trait EI.
