Failed psych, seriously???
So I'm going through your application process and moving along at a nice clip thinking it's all good in the hood and then bam, met the shrink you guys use and declared unacceptable. Wtf. 500 or so true / false questions (which is the most inaccurate test according to the psychology field) and a 5 minute meeting with the shrink and he comes to a conclusion that in a 30 year career I'd run into something to be unfit to deal with? Suprised LCSO has any deputies with this guy using a magic 8 ball basically in determining if someone is fit for this job yet he never has done it himself. Any one know what can be done with this since it's in the hiring process prior to conditional offer? Any one else have similar problems? Peace out guys.

Re: Failed psych, seriously???
Let me tell you what happened. Many questions are asked mutiple times, other questions are asked in reverse.They use this test to tell if you are answering the questions truthfully. ie: question 10 When I get angry, sometimes I think about stabbing someone and question 49. Once when I was angry I thought about revenge. If you an answered one Y and the other N, points would be deducted. Did you pass the poly? Based on the failure, you probably will not pass a psych eval or many polys (depending on the operator).
Try an agency that does not use these evals. You will have to list this failure on future apps, which will hurt you greatly.

Maybe it's just me, but if this guy failed the pysch exam should we be helping him get hired?!?!?!?!?! Maybe he Failed because, and stay with me here: he should NOT be a deputy! I don't believe the system is perfect, but I seldom ever hear of anyone failing the pysch exam! Time to move on.

Re: Failed psych, seriously???
This whole thread should be deleted, as there is so much trash within the whole Lee County portion of Leoaffairs.com. Mod, please do some cleaning and make this easier and neater to look through for actual information, not rants about nothing. Appreciate it. Good day.

I in no way see this as "stinks of snitching" so not sure where that reference is based. I study plenty on Florida law and PT daily, thank you for the suggestion by the way.

Good. Now scurry along and go do something constructive. Come back when you graduate the police academy. Better yet, after you pass your FTO and get released. Don't worry about OUR posts. Maybe there's an "I hope I get to be a cop someday" forum you can post on. Until then, scram!
