The phrasing on applications involves convictions - generally "have you ever been convicted of a felony?" or "have you ever been convicted of a crime, with the exception of minor traffic violations?"
Hope that helps!
Thanks, guys! That makes sense. I did have this question on the exam today, and I answered that it was inappropriate to ask about arrests. I passed with a 69, so I was very pleased.
I appreciate both your help, as well as everyone else on IC!
