(Psychology Tests)
- Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)- Commonly known as Picture Story writing.
TAT is very similar to PPDT, but here the candidates are shown clear
pictures, in which the candidate has to observe it for 30 seconds then
needs to write a story on it in four minutes. There are total 12 slides
are shown, 11 slides will be shown one by one i.e. after 4 minutes and
30 seconds the next slide will appear. There will be only one answer
booklet for all the psychological tests, and will be provided only once,
no supplementary sheets are provided. The twelfth slide will be a blank
slide where a candidate is supposed to write any story of his own
choice. But here candidates will not be marking the no of characters and
related information, also there will be no group discussion on it.
- Word Association Test (WAT)
WAT is the second psychological test of SSB selection process, in
this test the candidates are shown a word on a screen for a period of 15
seconds, in this time duration the candidate has to write the first
thought that comes in his/her mind for that word. Total 60 words will be
shown one after another( i.e. between each word the gap will be of 15
seconds). The answer sheets will be provided to candidates only once,
candidates are required to make no mistakes such as unnecessary cutting
or scribbling. There will be no blank slide, as in the case of TAT, so
candidates should not write any response on a blank slide. The words
shown will be very simple and of day to day use, this test will not
assess a candidates proficiency in English language. If a candidate is
not aware of meaning of a certain words he can skip that word and wait
for next word to flash, and write the response for the next word. The
main idea is to maintain the sequence of responses given to the word,
the maintenance of sequence is important, as assessor can derive the
result systematically for the respective response.
- Situation Reaction Test (SRT)
- Self Description Test (SD), or a variation of this like description
from the point of view of parents, teachers, colleagues, neighbours,
etc.
Total 15 minutes are given to write their responses.
