Many jobs, especially in law enforcement, the military, and firefighting, require candidates to pass rigorous physical tests as part of the hiring process or to maintain employment. These tests are designed to evaluate strength, endurance, agility, and other physical capabilities needed for the job. The passing scores are designed to reflect the minimum physical levels required for the job. Candidates train extensively to meet or exceed the standards, as competition for jobs in these fields is fierce.

I'm curious to know more about these tests. What are some of the most demanding physical job tests and what do they consists of? Are there any that include specific strength components like weightlifting exercises? How are these tests scored, and what is considered a passing score?

I'm not planning on a career change anytime soon, but I think it would be a fun challenge to see how I measure up against these standards and maybe set some fitness goals.
