A lot of weird questions that somehow determines your psychological fitness. Stuff like: True or False - I do what the voices in my head tell me to. True or False - I believe everything in the bible is true.
When I first tested, the psychologist told me I passed. I asked if I could get it in writing because my family would never believe it. The Dr. looked at me and said, "You passed the test to be a cop, son. I didn't say you were sane. Cops fall somewhere in the middle."

It pretty much sums up the sentiments I was gonna offer. 
To the OP - good luck, and don't sweat it.

well if you aint crazy now you will be when you are done! LOL
My pre-employement pysch 15 years ago took about 9 hours, was 4 tests with about 12000 questions (about the same 100 just re-fucking worded over and over and over), 200 question IQ test and a 60 minute interview with the head shrinker at the end. Fuckin' FUNNNNNNNNNNN. Unit in and out pyschs luckily are shorter but still the same BS. J- |

It's generally the LE version of the MMPI followed by an interview with a psych, often covering everything from your background investigation in addition to your test results.
It's a game to see if you can be psychologically manipulated into believing that things are more important than they really are. |

Prolly gonna be the MMPI-2. Most places are giving that nowadays. 567 questions of the strangest shit you have ever been asked. Yes! Question #17 "Do you love your mother?" Question #232 "Do find women that wear black fish net stockings sexually attractive?" Question # 416 "If your mother was wearing black fish net stockings, would you find her sexually attractive?" |

I like the one with the "If someone hit you, how would you feel?"
A-Pain- so you beat their ass so you could alleviate some of your own pain B- Smile and walk away C-Smile, thank them for the beat down and walk away whistling D- Dont Worry Be Happy Then they would ask you this same question over and over again different times. |

Mmmmmm, seems like I missed out on the party. 25 years ago, they didn't have me do that, either for commissioned officer or to be a LEO. Maybe they figured being under observation for 4 years in the Corps was sufficient enough.........or that if someone survived those 4 years, they were well adjusted enough.
Of course, I know about them now, but internally. I would, I have enough of a psychology background for that and more.........so they might not give such to me anyhow in that I know too much (I'm sure they would give it to me). Be well rested, treat it like any day long examination session. The better rested you are, the less you are likely to let it get to you. As far as what to wear if they don't tell you? You are trying to get a professional job, so dress professionally; wear a suit. If they can tell anything about you by how you dress, let them be able to see that.......that's the spy/counterspy in me talking but I think it applies here. It should be a suit that you can take the jacket off which means no short sleeves or if part of a military organization, epaulets on the shirt. Good luck and look out for those questions which get you to talk too much. ________________________________________________________ ("Let me see if I've got this straight: in order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy and I must be crazy to keep flying.
