Provide a sample of the complete testing packet for a pre-employment screening that will be utilized. <br /> A detailed explanation of our testing protocol including tests and questionnaires is included below.The <br /> psychological tests are protected by copyright but will be made available during the presentation meeting. <br /> Example reports are included in appendix A. <br /> Psychological Test Instruments <br /> As part of the evaluation of each applicant,we administer the following psychological tests and other written <br /> instruments: the California Psychological Inventory(CPI-434),the Personality Assessment Inventory(PAI),the <br /> State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory(STAXI),the Psychological History Questionnaire (PsyQ),the Wonderlic <br /> Personnel Test,the Post-Offer Supplemental Psychological History Questionnaire, and the Psychotherapy <br /> Release Form. For the first four of these instruments we have devised specialized Police and Public Safety <br /> Selection Reports, designed specifically for the purpose of evaluating applicants for entry level police,fire and <br /> other public safety positions. Each of these instruments is described separately, below. <br /> The California Psychological Inventory—434(CPI 434) <br /> The CPI 434 is a self-report questionnaire designed to measure normal-range human behavior. It consists of 434 <br /> true/false items representing concepts --such as Tolerance, Responsibility, Integrity, Empathy, and Self-Control- <br /> -that are commonly used to describe and understand human behavior.The CPI has over 50 years of validity <br /> research published in peer-reviewed journals. <br /> We use the CPI-434 to assess general personality functioning,which is one of the standards required by the <br /> California POST Commission. Nationwide,as well as in the state of California, public safety screening <br /> psychologists choose the CPI and the JRA Selection Report based on the CPI more frequently than any other test <br /> to assess general personality functioning.The CPI-434 Police and Public Safety Report is the only test of normal <br /> personality functioning that offers firefighter-specific norms. <br /> The Personality Assessment Inventory(PAI) <br /> The PAI is a self-report questionnaire designed to evaluate personality and psychopathology. It consists of 344 <br /> items that are answered on a four-alternative scale,with response options False, Slightly True, Mainly True,and <br /> Very True.These items are used to construct 22 non-overlapping full scales: four validity, 11 clinical,five <br /> treatment consideration, and 2 interpersonal scales.Ten of the full scales contain conceptually derived <br /> subscales that facilitate interpretation of the clinical constructs. Like the CPI-434,the PAI has been used to <br /> screen tens of thousands of police and public safety applicants. <br /> We use the PAI to assess the emotional stability of the applicant, in order to screen out applicants who display <br /> job-relevant psychopathology and other psychological problems that may interfere with the safe and effective <br /> performance of duties.The PAI Police and Public Safety Report is the only test of psychopathology that offers <br /> firefighter-specific norms. <br /> The State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory(STAXI) <br /> PSS/LEPS PLLC 9 <br />
