A countryâs military conducted an experiment to find out what kinds of people function best under severe arctic climatic conditions. Some of the factors examined were weight, age, blood pressure, and national origin.
All of the participants in the study were given a training course in how to survive and function in extreme cold. At the conclusion of the experiment, it was found that only two factors among those studied distinguished between personnel whose performance was rated as "effective" and those rated "not effective" on the arctic exercises. These factors were: (1) desire to participate in the experiment and (2) degree of knowledge and skill regarding how to live and protect oneself under arctic conditions.
1. Despite the training course given to all of the participants in the study, some participants exhibited greater arctic survival knowledge or skill than others.
