Written test failure...
I failed my private pilot written test over 10 years ago and I have never failed anything since. Now as regional CA I am applying to other airlines and I am not sure how to answer some of the check ride failure questions. Airline apps has this question: "Have you ever failed any proficiency check, FAA check ride, or line check?" Should I answer yes since I failed the written portion of private pilot test?

I would say no on this one. It is a written test, not part of the check ride. As far as I know, you get retrained, take the written again, and you are good. It doesn't go on your record. The check ride consists of two parts, the oral and practical.
I would answer no on that one and feel fine about it.

"Have you ever had any type of training or check ride failures?"
I am inclined to say yes since "any type" training could be viewed as written test. Opinions?

OP:
I agree with the others. The answer is "no". You didn't fail any portion of an FAA exam. No written test goes on the PRIA. You simply take the results back to your instructor, study more and then take the test again.
The FAA only records the oral and practical portions of checkrides.

I busted two checkrides in Navy/Air Force flight training. Even though they weren't real "checkrides" in that it didn't result in a disqualification or any paperwork, I documented them on my JetBlue app since they are in my logbook with the associated 88/89 rides. Overkill? Maybe.
If it is documented somewhere, I would let them know. Otherwise (in your case) I would just leave it out.

Could also be viewed as the lifeguard swim test you took when you were 15. I think they are looking for checkride or initial or recurrent training.
