I have taken two, one when I got hired and one when I joined the Bomb Squad.  If you are crazy, you fail, if you are normal, you pass.  There is no way to study or a way to "pass".  They will probably give you the standard MMPI which is about 500-1000 questions such as "I have thought about suicide", "I love my mother more than my father"  "If I was a painter I would paint flowers" ect. ect.  It is a test to see what kind of personality you have.

Advice: is to get a good night sleep, eat a good breakfast and answer with your heart, not what you think they want to hear.  Don't think. Just answer, they will all be "Yes" or "No" some may be true-false.......

Good luck, if you have made it this far you are probably almost done with your process so don't sweat the psyc. it is a small hurdle compared to the BI and the poly......

My next step is the psychological exam. Has anybody ever take that, how long does it, what kind of questions do they ask. How do you pass or fail in it.
