Inventory (NFSI)
Exam Highlights:
The NFSI is IOS’ flagship entry-level firefighter examination. This examination has been rigorously researched and successfully used in highly litigious environments. It has been successfully validated and deployed for agencies under US Department of Justice oversight. The NFSI combines a comprehensive cognitive ability measure with a measure of behavioral orientation (a personality-type measure). The NFSI was selected by a third-party expert, in two separate instances, as the best performing of all commercially available firefighter examinations in independent research studies performed for large fire departments. The NFSI most successfully predicted job performance while minimizing disparity.
