Testing
Firefighter Aptitude and Character Test
FPSI’s Firefighter Aptitude and Character Test (FACT) is designed with a balanced focus that ensures human relations skills receive proper weight alongside cognitive abilities. Since the majority of a firefighter’s work involves responding to EMS calls, it is vital that candidates demonstrate the ability to interact with the community in a professional, compassionate, and effective manner.
The FACT goes beyond measuring reading comprehension, writing ability, map reading, and mathematical reasoning. It also evaluates teamwork, communication, and interpersonal judgment, ensuring agencies hire candidates who are not only technically capable but also well-prepared to serve the public with integrity.
The FACT is available in both online and paper-and-pencil formats, providing flexibility for every department’s testing needs.
