The tests have been developed by academics at Strathclyde University

If people are going into highly sensitive areas such as CID, it will be useful to have an insight into their ethical background."
The tests assess how people would react in situations, such as seeing a person peering into a house letter box, and then vary the scenario. Applicants will be scored on a scale compared with normal reactions.
