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.
