Exam Highlights:
The LST is IOS’ most recently developed entry-level law enforcement examination and represents state-of-the-art research and design. This examination combines four measures into one result, providing a more holistic picture of a test takers’ potential. The LST combines a challenging cognitive ability measure with three non-cognitive measures: personality constructs, integrity, and biographical data. These four measures produce a score for test takers that is highly predictive of their job success in law enforcement.
