Rather surprisingly, they then concluded, based on their research data pertaining to the matter of maintaining or obtaining SCI access, that "the objective personality tests, in particular, were most useful for identifying significant pathology [page 5]." In actuality, their results rather cleanly suggested just the opposite conclusion.

 Agencies criticized for overclassifying information (7/26/04) Government Executive
