Exam Highlights:

National Criminal Justice Officer Selection Inventory Squared – NCJOSI²

The Guardian Selection Inventory (GSI) leverages modern predictors that seek to identify candidates who are interculturally sensitive, lack dangerous personality traits, judge and react to challenges well, and possess the necessary intelligence to perform the job of a law enforcement officer at a high level. In addition to providing a comprehensive assessment of job-related performance predictors, the GSI reflects modern industry research concerning the relative predictive power of certain measures that have been heavily relied on in the past. In short, the GSI effectively identifies individuals who are equipped with the skills, abilities, and other characteristics needed to be successful in a modern law enforcement context.
