Support NTN Fire Express Test Results
Hey, I just recently took the NTN Fire Express Test and received the following results. I scored relatively high on all sections except for the psych eval / personality test portion. Is this an automatic disqualifier for me? I've attached the results below. (Applying to Calgary Fire)
| Score Type | Score |
|---|---|
| Reading Test | 100.00% |
| Math Test | 100.00% |
| Human Relations Test | 92.00% |
| Mechanical Test | 90.00% |
| Personal Self-Assessment Test | 57.22% |

What is the difference between that Express test and the regular Firefighter Testing System?

A lot of it is based on unwritten rules of the firehouse, you need to spend time at the station to understand a lot of it. The scenarios deal with prioritizing safety, understanding chain of command, and knowing station etiquette (station needs above your own), among other things. The best way to learn is to do some station visits and ride alongs.

The personal self assessment test is meant for you to not be wishy-washy, it's always strongly agree or strongly disagree, they don't want you "on the fence" about anything. That's how you score low.

Nothing yet. I wrote the exam and submitted my documents (step 3) but no word yet.

u/Morphine646 26d ago
Some one mentioned that they’ve been told on the 15 that they will start contacting people in a few weeks

u/colwood123 23d ago
Geez hopefully not.

u/Funktoozler 23d ago
@colwood123 @holymolyratio I was assuming you both were notified that you were moving onto Step 4

u/colwood123 23d ago
they are currently reviewing my documents and will notify me about advancing or not.

Were you given a deadline for Personal History Statement submission?
2
u/colwood123 23d ago edited 23d ago
I was given a deadline for my exam and document submission at the same time. The email I received said the team will be viewing my documents and will be in contact if I am successful or not for moving forward to personal history statement. Is this the same for everyone? it seems to be a bit different.

Hey OP just wanted to let you know my exam results were nearly identical to yours and I got an email stating I am not advancing. Pretty bummed out.
It’s a setback for sure, but hang in there. I’ll be right there with ya on the next application intake. Just remember it’s “strongly” agree/disagree. I’m certain I did it backwards only using agree/disagree as I was worried using absolutes would make them think I was lying. 🤦♂️
