Affective Test
Alternatively, our Paramedic Entrance Exams utilize an adapted form of the M5-50 personality assessment, a valid and reliable personality item set designed for the evaluation of public safety personnel, to measure these important traits:
Agreeableness
How well an individual gets along with others (also described as kindness, cooperativeness, or sympathy for/consideration of others).
Conscientiousness
Attention to detail and understanding of right versus wrong. This element may also have utility in predicting elements of empathetic behaviors.
Neuroticism
The inability to accept failures and deal with stress. Neurotic people tend to have more of a depressed mood.
