Application
Validation
The selection of dimensions took place in two stages. First, relevant ability and personality dimensions that can help to distinguish between players in different ability classes were identified on the basis of theoretical considerations. In this case these dimensions are the individual’s attention, cognitive abilities, reaction behavior, visual functions and personality. The most suitable test for assessing each dimension was then selected. In a second step, these tests were used in a validation study at Vienna University. This involved administering a test battery to 225 players in various positions, such as strikers, midfield players and goalkeepers. On the basis of this study, ideal profiles for the players’ personality and skills were defined.
