I would start off by asking an elder RE or TE to outline the book of Romans for me- the main theme of the book and then do the same with the Psalms. Men who shepherd will find great help in doctrine and comfort from Romans and the Psalms when their sheep are in times of great need. If a man who aspires to the office doesn't know Romans like the back of his hand then...well you know. It's a good way to start to see if he truly knows his Bible.
1Tim 4:16
Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
