“I don’t know what your friends were like but I found the test not that hard. It was basic common sense, but then I was educated when a education actually meant something.’

I don’t know when you were tested but the original threat identification screening exercises were quite difficult according to many sources. Common sense had nothing to do with those tests, they relied on visual acuity and quick threat assessment.

Based on the caliber of agent I have seen, I can’t imagine they still perform the same battery of tests for qualification.

I was tested as part of the original deployment ie: the first wave. I went through the original threat identification exercises. I found them not that difficult, but I guess I must have good visual acuity and quick threat assessment. It seemed rather straight forward to me. I did qualify as a lead screener, sort of like a NCO in the TSA world.
