What is the psychological evaluation like?
Not every city requires a psychological evaluation, but it is designed to evaluate your emotional and mental stability before putting you in a high-stress job such as firefighting. The evaluation may consist of written tests or an interview with a psychologist. The test often asks about your interests, attitudes, and background. The interview will cover such topics as your relationships with family and friends, your habits, and your hobbies. Be honest and open as the manner in which you answer your questions, is more important than the answers themselves.
