Testing relates to the main requirements of the positions involved, including motivation, intelligence, team compatibility, endurance, social judgement, stress tolerance, self control and emotional stability. Promotional candidates are additionally evaluated for supervisory potential, ability to analyze the management role, leadership and attitudes towards directing and disciplining former peers. The intensive personal interview lasts from one half hour to one hour. Preliminary evidence of serious problems may be pursued with additional testing at nominal added cost. Scheduling Candidates are examined at the offices of IFP, Inc., or for large groups, at the department's facilities.
Interviews are entirely individual.
To insure timely service consistent with hiring deadlines, please schedule candidates at the earliest possible dates and allow two weeks after examination for reports to be rendered. Testing may be scheduled at locations other than IFP headquarters by special arrangement. Details and written proposals for on-site examinations are available on request. Custom designed examinations are available to meet special needs and budgetary concerns. Unless otherwise requested, an individual, comprehensive report of findings is given for each candidate.
