NTN Tests - FireTEAM
Firefighter Testing
There are four components to the FireTEAM Testing System: a video-based human relations test, a mechanical aptitude test, a math test and a reading ability test.
FireTEAM Video-Based Human Relations Test
Part I
FireTEAM Video-Based Human Relations Test focuses on teamwork and human
relations skills and was specifically designed for firefighters. Candidates
watch a video segment, then choose the BEST course of action in a
multiple-choice format. This test is presented on computer or video and the
items play without stopping.
Part II
In addition to answering the Part I questions of FireTEAM Video-Based Human
Relations Test, candidates are instructed to pay attention to the behaviors
of the individual firefighters and supervisors portrayed. Part II of
FireTEAM Video-Based Human Relations Test consists of questions about these
characters. Part II immediately follows Part I.
FireTEAM Mechanical Test
FireTEAM Mechanical Test is a multiple-choice mechanical aptitude test
presented on video. Candidates see detailed introductions to an animated
brick making factory, then are asked questions about the factory. Most of
the questions are about basic mechanical objects such as valves and
principles such as water pressure. They are also asked to answer trouble
shooting type questions and observe system operations for problems. All of
the questions can be answered based on common sense and observation of how
everyday objects work.
FireTEAM Reading Test
This test is designed specifically for firefighters, a job requiring
ongoing study of difficult and technical materials. Candidates are required
to choose a word that best fits in the blank.
FireTEAM Math Test
This math test is designed specifically for firefighters. The questions are
presented on video. Candidates must complete the calculations in their
heads. No written calculation is permitted. Questions are based on the type
of math that firefighters must use on a regular basis as part of the job.
Basic areas covered include: addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division and proportions.
