NYPD Testing: Overreporting and Underreporting

90+ Google Reviews for the  Law Firm of Kevin P. Sheerin

The predictive accuracy of a Candidate’s test results depends not only on the validity of the test, but also on their responsiveness to items in the test (thoroughness), response consistency (attention), and test-taking approach (straightforwardness). Because of the high stakes involved in preemployment screening, Candidates are generally motivated to be attentive and thorough when completing the tests, leaving test-taking approach as the primary threat to accurate reporting.

When Psychologists review a Candidates approach to testing they will find that such testing generally falls into two broad categories:

  • overreporting (also referred to as malingering and faking bad), is defined as any pattern of responding in which Candidates claim to have problems they do not have or exaggerate ones they do have; and,
  • underreporting, is defined as any pattern of responding in which test takers emphasize their strengths and deny and/or minimize their problems and/or shortcomings. Specific test-taking approaches that belong to the category of underreporting include (1) intentional underreporting or impression management, which is the conscious dissimulation of test responses, including deliberate denial or over minimization of physical and/or psychological symptoms in an effort to create a favorable impression, and (2) unintentional underreporting or self-deception, which is positive biased responses that the Candidate actually believes are true.

If you have been Psychologically  Disqualified by the NYPD for the position of Police Officer, Correction Officer, Firefighter or any other civil service job, you should begin appealing immediately, as you only have 30 days to start the process.

Although you can Appeal your Disqualification on your own, a more prudent choice is to hire experts in the field who are familiar with the civil service appeals process and who have extensive knowledge and experience appealing Psychological Disqualifications.

Regardless of whether you were psychologically disqualified for anxiety, depression, poor judgment or any other reason, you should start your appeal as soon as possible, so your record does not follow you, raising red flags for anyone viewing them, thereby ruining your chances of securing a civil service job in the future.

In order to appeal your Psychological Disqualification, you will need to hire a Clinical Psychologist who will review your file, have you undergo additional tests and prepare a psychological evaluation on your behalf.

You should also hire an experienced Attorney who will advise you of your rights, review your entire civil service psychological record and prepare you for all the steps and hurdles you will face throughout the appeals process. Your attorney will also work closely with your Psychologist and prepare and file all of your appeals documents. Hiring an expert Attorney and Psychologist will give you the best chance of reversing your disqualification and clearing your name.

If you received a NYPD Psychological Disqualification, but are now confused as to how you should proceed, the following video explains the NYPD psychological disqualification appeal process, and the steps you must follow in order to succeed. It outlines the NYPD psychological Notice of Proposed Disqualification (NOPD) steps, followed by what you should do if you receive a Notice for a 2nd interview. It further explains what you should do if you receive a Notice of Disqualification (NOD), which can be appealed to the NYC Civil Service Commission.

Your Guide to the NYPD Hiring Process…

Once you have taken the exam, the NYC Department for Citywide Administration Services (DCAS) will generate your “list number”. List numbers are generated only to Candidates who pass the exam and are generated by exam score (meaning the higher your score, the lower your list number will be).

After you pass the exam, the NYPD’s Candidate Assessment Division will email you an invitation to create a NYPD Candidate Portal account. Through this Portal, you will required to complete the Personal History Questionnaire, as this is where your assessment process begins. During this time you will be asked to prepare and upload additional documents through the Portal (which you can find at NYPD Candidate Portal (nypdonline.org)

At your first interview you will be required to bring and/or upload certain documentation. A list of the items you will be required to upload and/or bring will be listed on your NYPD Candidate Portal after you complete your Personal History Questionnaire.

You can expect the hiring process to take an average of 6 months to 1 year to be hired. In rare cases the process can take as little as 2 months or as long as 4 years depending upon each candidate’s situation. Your exam is valid for four years from the date your list number is established.

Win Your NYPD Appeal – Fulfill Your Dreams…

Are you a determined individual aspiring to join the prestigious ranks of the NYPD but received a Psychological Disqualification? Don’t lose hope! Let us guide you through the essential steps of appealing your disqualification and provide valuable insights to maximize your chances of becoming an NYPD Police Officer.

The following is a break down of the disqualification process, which will shed light on the importance of appealing your disqualification and help you understand that you have the right to appeal that decision.

Understanding the NYPD Psychological Screening Process

The NYPD has a rigorous screening process to ensure that all candidates possess the necessary mental and emotional stability to serve effectively as an NYPD officer. If the NYPD has determined that you do not meet their standards, they will issue a psychological disqualification.

The NYPD Appeal Process for a Psychological Disqualification

The good news is that a psychological disqualification from the NYPD is not final, and you have the right to appeal. The NYPD appeal process involves presenting additional evidence that supports your case and shows that you possess the necessary mental and emotional stability to serve as an NYPD Police Officer.

How to Appeal Your NYPD Psychological Disqualification

To appeal your psychological disqualification, you may need to provide evidence, such as medical records, letters of recommendation, and statements from mental health professionals. The NYC Civil Service Commission may grant you a hearing, where you can present your case and provide additional evidence. The hearing officer will review all of the evidence you present and make a final decision on your NYPD appeal.

Seeking Professional Assistance for Your Appeal

Appealing a psychological disqualification can be a lengthy and complex process, so you may want to seek the assistance of a qualified attorney and mental health professional (MHP) familiar with the NYPD hiring process. An experienced attorney and MHP can provide guidance and support throughout the appeal process and increase your chances of a successful outcome.

Conclusion

Receiving a psychological disqualification from the NYPD may feel like a setback, but it’s important to know that you have options. By appealing this decision, you will be provided the opportunity to present evidence that supports your case and shows that you possess the necessary mental and emotional stability to serve as a NYPD Police Officer. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and fight for your future.
