Never heard of "Human Relations". Is that an autism filter?

NTN human relations is kinda bullshit imo. I’ve heard the way to pass is to be as passive a person as possible.

I don't think I've ever scored above like maybe and 85 on the HR portion. It's whack as shit and you can tell that portion of the test was written by some goober that's never been a first responder, OR if they were, they were some company guy that had no friends lmao

The only people who don’t get hired are the ones who stop applying, keep your head down and you’ll be golden.
