ABSTRACT

Firefighters tend to be exposed to serious stress situations and face various psychological problems in the process of rescuing the lives and property of citizens during disasters. Particularly, if their psychological vulnerability is high or their aptitude does not fit well with the job, it could lead to more serious problems such as suicide. In addition, some firefighting officers in licensing departments may be involved in corruption and others may be dismissed as a perpetrator of sexual violence or drunken driving. Thus, more precise personality and aptitude tests should be carried out in the process of recruitment of firefighters. However, those test results are currently used only as a reference data by the interviewer during the recruitment process. In this study, we aim to find out the problems and potential resolutions to personality and aptitude tests for the purpose of recruitment of firefighters using the Delphi technique.
