The CBSA Psychological Exam or Assessment
CBSA Exam Psychological Assessment
(Written Test and Psychologist Interview)
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and similar psychological assessments evaluate personality traits and detect potential psychological concerns. While originally designed for clinical use, these tests are now widely applied to assess psychological stability in high-risk professions, including law enforcement, aviation, and the nuclear industry.


The CBSA Psychological Exam as a protected Instrument
As a protected psychological instrument, a qualified psychologist can only administer and interpret the MMPI. Although the test is often conducted via computer, the assessment process includes an initial psychologist interview. Once the test is completed and scored, the psychologist reviews the results, considering the individual’s history and any relevant psychological factors before providing a final report.

If you are serious about a career in law enforcement, then look no further because the team at AnEDGE has been an incredible help. If you have a lot of good work and life experience it can be difficult at times articulating the competencies Law Enforcement agencies look for in the STAR format. Thanks to anEDGE I felt I was well prepared going into every interview and had the best support at every step of the process. They were very flexible and accommodating in scheduling times to meet over teams. I cannot thank Gerald, Kevin, and the entire team enough for their support.

Grant From Manitoba – if you are motivated to begin your career in policing and know you have great work/life experience but are not sure how to articulate your competencies in the STAR format, you’ve come to the right place. I reached out to anEDGE, thinking I had weeks to prepare, and found out days later my interview would be in 7 days. I was still trying to figure out if I should spend the money on the process. I have to say that the decision to work with Kevin and Paul offered invaluable advice and assistance in preparing for the RCMP interview. If you have any doubt, take advantage of the free consultation and you will not regret it—best of luck to all applicants and many thanks to Kevin and Paul at anEDGE.

I hired anEDGE to help me prepare for my panel interview, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. Elaine, my designated mentor, was absolutely fantastic. With just three weeks to prepare, she guided me every step of the way, and thanks to her expertise, I was able to walk into the interview confident and well-prepared. One of the most valuable aspects of the process was the mock panel interview anEDGE conducts beforehand. Not only did I receive insightful feedback, but it also gave me a chance to face my nerves head-on before the real thing. I highly recommend anEDGE and Elaine for anyone looking to take their interview preparation to the next level.
