NEW BUS�NESS l. Dr. Gary Fischler, from the Institute of Forensic Psychalogy, was there to present an instrument that could be used for future sergeant testzng. His presentation included a comprehensive explanation of a clinical instrumen� that he would propose the City use for future test�ng. The components included in the testing are: MMpI-2, CpI Pvlice opinion Survey, Intelligence Test, personal interview, role playing/problem solving, and a sociogram where the candidates wauld rate each other. Additionally, he would collect data from different sources. The inveniory is based on psycha�ogicaZ characteristics, which would help assess a fit for the position of sergeant. Several questions and d�scussion follawed. 2. The second presenter was Harry BruZl, from Personnel Decisions, Inc. (PDI}. The presentation included a breakdown of four categories in which PDI would proceed with testing. The first category is an interview situation where PDI would ask the candidate to tell them about themselves. Ca�egoxy No. 2 is testing, which would be validated situational judgment testing. This is with a comman sense approach--situations that real police officers face, which would show how they exercise pxofessional judgment, and how they would handle interpersonal situations. The third category is a simulatzon which wouZd have the candidates show you how they wou�d handle situations. Thzs is done through a process called an "in basket", which is done on paper, a lzve situation which is interacting with probZems with suboz-dinates, and through an interview approach. The fourth category would be getting references by asking other people and have others eva�uate them.
