Basically, it's a behavioral test. The testee sits in a room with a TV and watches a series of scenarios that a firefighter might encounter. At the end of the scenario, the testee has to appropriately respond to the scenario within 45 seconds. The responses are filmed and then graded. As hubby and I understand it, it's becoming a popular way to test police and firefighter candidates for response to stressful situations they might encounter on the job.
