(Updated to include the 2024 CVF)
Trusted by 1000s of students worldwide:
Without a doubt, joining the police is a sought-after and rewarding job role. Joining the police requires candidates to undertake and pass a stringent requirement process that includes assessing and matching your values and behaviours to those expected of all police staff.
A behavioural questionnaire is an assessment which is usually taken during the early stages of a selection process. In regards to the role of a police officer, the assessment is used as part of the sifting process, to ensure that only candidates who possess and demonstrate the desired values and qualities pass this stage of the process. The test itself, will ask you a number of questions about behaviours. Your task is to answer honestly whether you agree or disagree with the statement to a sliding scale:
A typical question will be along the lines of:
‘I am a person who feels comfortable with making important decisions.’
Your task is then to decide whether you completely disagree, strongly disagree, somewhat disagree, as per the sliding scale listed above.

HOW TO PASS THE POLICE BEHAVIOURAL STYLES QUESTIONNAIRE – Suitable for the 2016 & 2024 CVF
To be successful in this assessment you will need to be able to demonstrate the skills, values and competencies required to become a police officer in your responses.
Do not get fooled when they tell you there are no wrong answers. This is certainly not the case. If you answer statements which do not comply with what is expected of the behaviours of a police officer then you are unlikely to pass the assessment.
What you need to do to pass this assessment is to completely understand the Competencies and Values Framework and be able to demonstrate your knowledge of these in your responses. When answering the questions, you should apply a simple three-step process:
The competencies and values used for the police selection process are the same beliefs and behaviours expected of all those policing. These include the six core competencies:
And the four core values:
As you are probably aware the College of Policing have introduced a new version of the CVF which has removed the clusters and mainly modified the Values. The competencies for the most part remain the same. The new 2024 CVF values consist of:
The older values of Integrity, impartiality and transparency have been removed, bu their associated behaviours have been incorporated into the new values.
Of course, reading and memorising the police Values and Competencies is a completely appropriate method to prepare for the Police selection process.
However, practising answering example questions similar to that used in the actual police behavioural questionnaire may be a better option. If you practise a lot of behavioural questionnaire questions, the values and competencies and how you need to match them with your own will ultimately become second nature. This will come in handy when you undertake your police behavioural questionnaire.
Let’s look at some sample police behavioural styles questionnaire test questions that will help you prepare to pass the police recruitment process.
‘I am a person who feels comfortable with making important decisions.’
A. Completely Disagree
B. Strongly Disagree
C. Somewhat Disagree
D. Neither Agree nor Disagree
E. Somewhat Agree
F. Strongly Agree
G. Completely Agree
Suggested Answer: Strongly Agree.
Explanation: This question relates to the competencies of Analyse Critically and Taking Ownership. As a police officer, you will be required to make decisions every day. However, any decision you make should be analysed to ensure that they conform with policy, procedures, and the police code of ethics. You should also weigh up the pros and cons of any potential decision and the associated risks. By making a decision, you are also taking ownership of the situation and responsibility for any actions.
A. Completely Disagree
B. Strongly Disagree
C. Somewhat Disagree
D. Neither Agree nor Disagree
E. Somewhat Agree
F. Strongly Agree
G. Completely Agree
Suggested Answer: Somewhat Disagree.
EXPLANATION: This relates to the competency we are emotionally aware.
Depending on the circumstance you should seek support. If your problem-solving skills can solve the problem without asking for help, ten this is acceptable. However, during your career, you will come across a number of challenges where you will need the support of others. These could be emotional issues related to your tasks or what you have experienced. In this case you should always seek help and support from the facilities available to you.
A. Completely Disagree
B. Strongly Disagree
C. Somewhat Disagree
D. Neither Agree nor Disagree
E. Somewhat Agree
F. Strongly Agree
G. Completely Agree
ANSWER = Strongly Disagree. This relates to impartiality.
Police officers must show complete impartiality when dealing with colleagues, stakeholders and members of the public, regardless of any views they may have that differ from yours. Police officers must be unprejudiced, objective and fair.
