Physical Ability Test

Physical fitness is a candidate's body conditioning as measured by evaluating results, according to the person's sex & age. Such an evaluation may help identify qualified applicants and reduce the probability of work related disabilities.

The oral board will be appraising personal qualities such as appearance, voice, ability to express oneself, ability to organize higher thoughts, poise, bearing, & alertness.
