It was felt that the previous interviews were traumatic for the individuals involved and therefore a "decompression" talk was instituted. At the outset the applicants were unaware of this. This interview, it was believed, would produce valuable additional information in regard to the assessing process itself. The interviews were first conducted by a number of people, but finally by only two, at which point they became quite structured. By virtue of the nonevaluative atmosphere of the final interview (usually thirty minutes) different kinds of data are obtained, and an attempt is made to correlate these data with that of the preceding stress situations.
