I failed the psych test for the City of Chicago. I mage it all the way to the end of the process; they sent a detective to my home to investigate me. At the end, they sent me a letter stating they "deem me psychologically unsuited at this time, but encourage me to apply again in the future." This was very strange and difficult for me to accept. Now, 4 years latter, I am reapplying.
Current LEO here. Have been sworn, part-time and reserve for four years now. In 2012, I "failed the MMPI and the doctor said I'd likely become dependent on drugs or alcohol in my career. The other day, I "failed" the CPI and they gave me no explanation whatsoever. Toughest part about the CPI was I had the job. First ever full-time gig after five + years of applying, testing, etc. How does one ever make it through and how do I keep going when I seriously doubt the credibility of these tests and with the swipe of a pen and a 30-minute interview, one "psychologist" can erase what has taken me years to accomplish and the $1700 I spent going back and forth for this job. I just feel entirely railroaded.
I didn’t even get a chance to sit down with a psychologist, they just said I failed my pre-suitability. I answered honestly and didn’t answer ‘true’ to anything crazy because it wasn’t... idk.
Just took mine, I didn't pass unfortunately, and answered all the questions 100% truthfully. No point in being dishonest when the career you're wanting to achieve is all about serving the people of your community with an honest attitude.
Wow...very INTERESTING. I wonder if somebody who failed at the apathy/ empathy questions or test could still be a Cop. Can you imagine a Cop with MAJOR apathy and insecurities issues? But heee....you know if you have connections you will always past any psychology test. Even if you still stalked your ex girlfriend after 20 years.
The biggest problem with the police force in Australia and i found out that this was in every state is that its easier to bring in police from other countrys than it is to train up new recruits i did all the paper work the fitness test the interview and they said that they were very impressed but what they didnt tell me was that i would have to go in to a pool for new recruits and it cold be up to 4 years for me to find out if i was going in to the academy.
@DarkRebel7575 Remember that guy back in school who used to shake you down for your lunch money, beat you or others if you tried standing up to him, and always wanted to know what you had inside your bag? Remeber that guy? Yeah. Well, he needed a job to.
A lot of psychologists will over react to drinking. Even if you like to go out once a week and tie one on, you do not say that. They will peg you an alcoholic. I know guys that hardly go out, but when they do, they go over what is referred to as binge drinking and are classified alcoholics or potential alcoholics even though none of them can afford to go out more than once a month with having families and house payments.
I would like to study to become a police officer but i am very nervous about the physilogical exam only because i tend to overthink things if i fail can i try at another police station or will i never be allowed to become an officer
I was given 3 of these tests. The MMPI test. I thought it was horrible. I cried the whole time. I wish I had seen your clip before I took it. "Do you like Magazines about Sports Cars?" Do you like you mother better than your father and Do you like you Father better than your Mother? These questions were very hard for me, and I didn't even break the law.
Does anybody know how long does it take to get the results of psychological interview? My psychologist told me he’ll contact me if he needs anything.. I just don’t know what does that mean?
You could have had a bad day when taking it. Seriously, You will probably pass the 2nd time around with the same guy. I'm sure you're fine. After working in Chicago a few years, maybe not so much!!
my friend failed the test for the chp.. his perfectly fine.. had a great childhood and went to college... it he was profile as social incompetent and lack of social skills any one who might have an opinion why he failed
also the thing about the MMPI is the questions repeat themselves but are worded differently thing that sucks is they dont repeat till you get a couple hundred questions in they you got to go back find the question and answer it the same way at least thats what i did
A written personality test? I would have hoped that the psychological heath of cops would be better examined and monitored. Especially for a profession that seems to naturally appeal to sadists and psychopaths.
I think the most important questions are, were you bullied as a child/adult. also do you take a oath to harass the public and to make as much money as you can for the city your employed with...... answer all three with a yes and the job is yours.
I am 2 hours away from my taking my psych eval. The last step for this amazing job.
Mike how did it go?
I just took it my psych test! It was my last step also so now just anxiously waiting on the call from PD
@@EazyBoBeezy failed 3 times . Same doctor. I am done.
Htoo Doh i failed 3 times but I'm not done yet
Fuck cops

Does anybody know how long does it take to get the results of psychological interview? My psychologist told me he’ll contact me if he needs anything.. I just don’t know what does that mean?
Did he ever reach back ?
If you fail it once does it mean you will never be able to become a police officer
You could have had a bad day when taking it. Seriously, You will probably pass the 2nd time around with the same guy. I'm sure you're fine. After working in Chicago a few years, maybe not so much!!
Police One Academy is a really good for this as well.
@4mattmiller good question.
they look for officers who test with high aggression & lack of sensitivity...that is the definition of a sociopath in a nutshell!
