[IPAC-List] Does the day you take an oral exam matter? - Killing the Mess...

I have some interesting anecdotes including small # data on folks who,  
through deception, took the same test twice and post test applicant perception  
that I never followed up on. I do want to chip in with two observations:
First, while police are special, I've had similar experiences with Social  
workers and accountant/auditors.
Second, while there is some distrust of testing, I believe it is more about  
how the results are manipulated and used rather than the testing itself. While 
 cops usually don't trust non-cops to have much to do with their  
selection/promotion, they also don't trust police command. That is a major  reason for 
their drive (and Firefighters) to have contractual "rule of the  list".
