There are two components to the PES written exam process, as outlined below:
1. YOUR PES/PPI ONLINE PORTAL: The first part of the written examination is the Candidate Insight Report (CIR), and the Projected Personality Interpreter (PPI). The CIR will require you to complete a series of questions regarding your demographics, and your skills and qualifications for the job. The PPI consists of 10 essay questions. Utilizing IBM Watson AI technology, the PPI is used to identify the top key personality traits possessed by candidates. The PPI report is not scored and/or ranked. It is designed to provide the department with personality insight for each candidate. A candidate will not be hired or eliminated from consideration for hire, based on this feedback.
BE ON THE LOOKOUT! Upon your successful registration acceptance, the PPI portal will automatically email you a set of access instructions. DEADLINE TO COMPLETE THE PPI: 9 AM Wednesday, November 11
Since this email will sometimes get intercepted by ISP firewalls, we advise you search all folders within your email box. The ‘from’ address is admin.ppi-portal.com. Your first-time access must be made through the link contained in the email. Should you have any issues, you must contact PES for assistance. To provide you with the best service, it’s suggested you do not wait until the last minute.
2. THE WRITTEN EXAM WITH THE @HOME TESTING FORMAT: The second part of the exam process is the written exam, which will be facilitated through the @Home Testing format. You will be participating in a written exam specifically tailored for law enforcement. Your exam was developed to measure the key skills, abilities and other characteristics required for job success. You will be allotted a set amount of time to complete the exam. You should expect the process to take approximately 3.5 hours. Once the process begins and test administration is complete, you will have 2.5 hours to complete your exam.
PES will email candidates when results are in. Typically, scores are released within 5-7 business days from the date of the last testing session. This email will contain a step-by-step set of instructions on how to access your individual score.
In addition to the hardware requirements necessary for your participation, all candidates are required to provide their valid photo ID upon exam check-in on the day of your exam.
