CritiCall Dispatcher Software Test Descriptions
The CritiCall tests are designed to measure a series of skills and abilities necessary for success in the emergency services dispatch environment. See how the CritiCall Software has changed over the years.
When lives are at stake, all parties involved need to be certain that the call-taker or dispatcher has properly comprehended the situation and can make the right decisions.

CritiCall Personality Testing for Dispatchers
The CritiCall Personality Test is based on the U. S. Department of Labor’s principle of using a whole-person approach to making selection decisions.
“Using a single test or procedure will provide you with a limited view of a person’s employment qualifications… On the other hand, using a variety of assessment tools enables you to get a more complete picture of the individual.”
–U.S. Dept of Labor. “Testing and Assessment: An Employer’s Guide to Good Practices”
CritiCall is offering a time-tested pre-employment personality test designed to gauge a dispatcher or calltaker job applicant’s fit before you hire them. The CritiCall Personality test helps employers improve their bottom-line results by examining job applicants’ fundamental personality traits, such as conscientiousness, agreeableness, emotional stability, and so on.
The test is administered “online” via the Internet and is simple to use.
