I am scheduled for a pre-employment exam for my law enforcement/probation officer/firefighter position. Will the doctor tell me at the end of the interview if I passed or failed?

It is unlikely that a psychologist will tell an applicant the results of the evaluation in any definite terms. Usually, the doctor needs time to review all the data. Sometimes a discussion with the background investigator after the interview points out discrepancies or new information that needs to be incorporated into the evaluation. The purpose of the evaluation is to provide information to the hiring authority, not to the applicant. However, I think most applicants have a sense of how the evaluation went. For example, if the doctor spends a lot of time discussing the applicant’s drinking pattern or unstable job history, the applicant should be aware that there are areas of concern.
