Physical capability test for preemployment

I have to take a physical capability test for a job at Honda plant, which includes a drug screen. Does anyone know if I would need to undress for this part?

From my experience, these types of exams usually involve checking your range of motion, strength, and overall fitness for duty. I have had a few of these over the years. I have had to lift weighted milk crates (usually around 50 pounds) from the floor to a table top. Then some type of cardio assessment, such as going up and down some stairs for a few minutes, with my pulse being checked and heart ascultation performed afterward. Then some flexibility/range of motion checks, and testing grip and pinch strength.

Every time after these assessments, a physical exam followed, which included a hernia check, and a drug screening.

Did you ever have to undress at any time?

Do you know some way to have a hernia check without getting undressed??????

Will I wear a gown?

It depends on the facility where the exam is performed. One time I remained fully dressed, with the doctor lifting up my shirt for the ascultation of my heart and lungs and abdominal exam, then I stood up and dropped my pants and undershorts for the hernia check. Another time I was wearing an exam gown with my undershorts on underneath, dropping my undershorts and lifting up the gown for the hernia check. At another place I had the gown on, nothing on underneath, lift up gown, turn head and cough. And yet another couple times I was wearing only my undershorts for the physical, lowering them to mid thigh for the cough test.

So as you can see, it depends on the particular facility’s policy.
