THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMINATION

One of the most critical portions of the hiring process for firefighters is the Psychological Evaluation.  In many fire department hiring processes, it is not uncommon for 50% of the candidates applying for positions of firefighter to be disqualified during the psychological evaluation process.  This is one area I do not profess to be an expert in. One resource I do know of for you is found on "Fire Captain Bob's" website at www.eatstress.com/psych.htm - he offers more information about the Psychological Evaluation as well as offering for sale, a research report he has put together specifically on this subject.
