Our church is staring a K-12 charter school and we are setting up the security through this summer does any one know of a psychological profile test to administer for candidates interested being on the security team?
Find someone who understands security in your church, or at another local church, and have them help you build a security team.
A psychological profile test can be gamed, you'll need to have someone responsible for hiring the security staff/team who understands security as a whole.
The proper candidate needs to be a good shot, have a tactical mindset, and be highly observant. AND, most importantly, they need to have a strong sense of duty and be willing to put their life on the line; for this reason, former military are often the ideal choice. You don't really need a psychological profile test. However, I feel a better test would be to stage a particular scene, photograph it, and then ask the person what they see. One person in the photograph should have a "tell" that they may be about to go for a weapon, to see if the candidate catches it. I assisted with my church's security while I was living in Virginia. I volunteered because, even though the staff were primarily former military and I'm just a civilian, I knew this was somewhere I could contribute. During this time, I observed someone with their hand positioned as if they were preparing to draw a pistol, and immediately alerted others to keep an eye on them. There are certain "tells" when a person is staging their draw that only a person who is both observant and has that mindset will notice.
