WAT is also known as the Word Association Test. WAT is conducted in SSB Interview during psychological testing. 60 words are shown on a screen one by one, each word is flashed for 15 secs and candidates are required to write their response to that word in under 15 secs. Similarly 60 words are shown on the screen.
It is a tricky exercise and it tests you by putting severe time constraints. This forces you to give the most genuine answer. It isn’t easy to mask anything in such a short duration of 15 seconds. What puts you in a total dilemma is when negative words are given to you.
