MMPI= Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory.
You can thank Northwest Airlines for inventing this absurd psych test which now seems to be broadly used by many airlines. There is no studying for this long and tedious affair--your personality is what it is. Not to worry however, most people pass, even some real nutcases, which attests to its effectiveness. ANA/JP Express seems to be doing a far better job of picking good guys by their own judgement than they could hope to do by relying on this goofy test.

Does anyone know if medical re-checks are unusual and if it ultimately becomes a disqualifier for the job. I had to do a re-check last week and my doctor said everyting looked great. I am waiting to hear the results from the contract company. Thanks for you help!

Two guys from my group of four had to do re-checks. One got the job and the other one didn't. However, I think the one guy that didn't make it was not selected for other reasons besides the medical. So it's not necessarily a deal killer. Good luck to you, I know the wait can be agonizing.

According to the Contract People, re-checks are the "Norm".. So do NOT lose faith, especially if your doctor said all was well.. The paperwork he or she sends back is exactly what Tokyo will read..
Hope everything works out for the best and to see you online!

ps: Has the shrink called you?? Normally, when he calls you can rest assured all of your medical checks are fine...

I had to do a recheck on my eyes after my initial medical. Apparently, the machine that was used on me was not exactly what they wanted, so I had to do it again. They are very specific on what they want and I don't think rechecks are too unusual.

My recheck was an eye exam as well. Hopefullly, I will hear something soon. Its only been about 6 weeks since my initial exam and it seems like it takes 7-8 weeks before you hear the final results. Thank you for the reply.

I was curious if anyone talked with a Psychologist during your physical or if the only time you had contact with him was when he called you. I did my 2-day physical in JFK and talked with him personally, but haven't gotten a phone call. I interviewed in the middle of August.
