Blue pens and red pens? What's all that about? Next thing, they'll be asking you to recite the alphabet backwards whilst completing a dot-to-dot puzzle!
Only joking, I'm sure it's not that bad; although an acquaintance that did the test told me that he was asked whether or not he'd like to sh@g his step-daughter. I haven't got a step-daughter, so I suppose that that leaves me at a disadvantage. Does wanting to sh@g your friend's step-daughter count? And do you get extra points if you have?
Does anyone know what else is involved?
Sounds mental.

For those fellows who need to know what the psychometric test is all about, there was an article in a norwegian flight magazine from the shrinks themself, describing pretty much the whole deal (so no secrets) - but you have to read norwegian to understand it ..
Never the less, check my website www.madman.dk and click on "Pilot Education" - then click the button "Test and Interview" under Part III - you might find what you need to know what it's all about when it comes to the psychometric tests - and in English - unless they have changed the tests the last year or so ..
Concerning the sim-test - well, pretty much asked to do the same as when taking an IR test plus an engine failure ..
What they are looking for there is beside your handling and skills, your co-work with the other pilot (you are the skipper in the sim) ..
And show up rested and fresh, because finding yourself in a S61 sim and having to perform your best takes strength - don't do like me meeting in the morning after getting up at night, taking a trainride and flight to Stavanger only having had some 4 hours of sleep - that can fail you
..
And about taking the shrink test before hand - well, don't you think you will be evaluated harder when you show up at the same shrink taking a similary test you just took previously. I think so - might not be in your favor
..
- madman - passed shrink, failed sim, can apply later ..

CHC Interview YVR
Common guys (and Gals) its not that tough. Just did my interview about three weeks ago at YVR. Very straight forward. Interview with HR, tests and eval with the Shrink and left the next day. Was offered a position as a Captain one week later. Just waiting for my start date. Sim time is at a premium. If you have any type of solid flying background (rotor wing) and a little bit of common sense it should be a slam dunk. Can't speak for the European side of CHC.
