Reasons Candidates Fail the NYPD Psychological Exam…

The NYPD psychological exam evaluates a candidate’s suitability for law enforcement. The following are some reasons why candidates may fail the exam: 

Mental Health: Anxiety, depression, suicidal tendencies, or other mental health issues.
Substance Use/Abuse: Misuse, abuse, or addiction of alcohol or any other substances.
Interpersonal Skills: Poor social competence, presentation, or interpersonal skills.
Judgment: Poor judgment, poor impulse control, or difficulty making decisions.
Stress Tolerance: Poor stress tolerance or difficulty coping with the demands associated with the job of law enforcement.
Honesty: Being dishonest about your personal history, relationships, employment, experiences, or psychological issues.
Bias: Racial or any other bias.
Immaturity: Immaturity or failure to adjust to the psychological demands of adulthood.

The NYPD psychological exam is a comprehensive evaluation that includes both written tests and an oral interview. The goal of the exam is to ensure that candidates are mentally and emotionally prepared for the challenges of police work. 

Candidates who fail the exam can appeal the decision, by starting an appeal process within 30 days, consulting with a lawyer, and getting an independent psychological evaluation.
