Makes me think the personality is weighted pretty heavily. I certainly didn't give it much thought, but just did like I always do on personality tests and tried to stay as neutral as possible.
Thanks for the kind words, and I will most likely reapply down the road. I am just in shock. I am always trying to be at the top of my game. AF Test Pilot, thousand combat hours, selected to top competitive schools during my career, etc. I am getting out because I am ready to dial it back a notch and honestly live a better life. Being a female has always made me work extra hard to keep up with my pilot brethren etc. I am just surprised to have the door slammed in my face by such a subjective, impersonal screening. I am ranting here, I know. I answered with my gut instinct, and was honest. Maybe too honest lol. I was consistent, or so I thought. Good luck to all those who made it past this crazy screening, and to those that have yet to embark, I wish you the best. Hoping to hear back from the other players I have my apps in at and will hope for better results.
Cheers
