How to be a Worthy Group Member at SSB Interview

Active member of your Group at SSB Interview

An armed forces officer has to work along with his seniors and juniors. It an officer lacks the quality of association with group members, and then he can never effectively lead his men. He may prove to be an unfit commander. This same quality is assessed by the GTO in various Group tasks. A candidate who is a man of great talents when worked individually may cease to be so when he is working with a group. An armed forces officer essentially requires a spirit of co-operation, team spirit and self-assertiveness. This traits are tested by the GTO in group tasks.

Anyone who lacks the above qualities will have no say in the activities of the group and ceases to be an active member. Here I have enumerated certain qualities which every candidate should essentially cultivate before appearing SSB.
ssb group task


  • Adaptability:  Every group member has to adapt himself in such a way that he becomes an active participant in the activities of the group and strives only for the achievement of his group above his personal achievements.
  • Constructive Approach:  Every group member should cultivate the habit of constructive thinking and co-operation.
  • Ability to convince:  A person should possess the ability to convince and persuade the group with his power of voice. If you lack this quality, then it is better to be a worthy follower in the group than trying to become a leader.
  • Physical fitness and will power:  You should possess physical fitness and stamina to bear the stress of the activities of the group. A weak person will cease to be an active member of the group. Also, a group member should never lack will power and self – control.
  • Faith and hard work:  A group member should realize dignity of labor. He must be dashing and daring to undertake any sort of job entrusted to him by the group. He should improve his practical intelligence, professional efficiency and ability to do his job effectively.
  • Leadership: In a need, every group member should be able to provide a leadership to his group. In a military operation, if the commander is injured, the next senior officer takes over the command .In the same way, you should be able to provide a right direction to the group if they are caught in a difficulty and must put forward constructive suggestions.
  • Spirit of Appreciation: You should appreciate valuable, constructive suggestions put forth by others and must have the courage to admit your mistakes. This quality helps you to be a faithful, dependable member of your group.
  • In short, show maximum spirit of “Espirit-de-Corps” and co-operation and have a logical way of thinking and reasoning.
If you are able to possess or cultivate these qualities in yourself, then you will be able to be worthy member of your group……Best of Luck

Self Description Test in SSB and How to Tackle it

tips for Self Description Test

Every individual possesses certain good as well as bad personality traits of his personality. One’s behavior shows his mood. In the SSB tests, candidates try to conceal their bad qualities, but in some tests, their attempt shatters completely especially in the self description test. In this test ,every candidate is given a chance to give his self story or self appraisal which is known as self description.
One thing is to be noted that we will never like to condemn ourselves or talk about our negative aspects.Only a straight forward person with a matured personality will dare to do that. That is what expected by the Psychologist in Self Description.

Generally candidates are required to write their self analysis based on the given forms

  • What do you think of yourself?
  • What your parents think of you?
  • What your friends think of  you?
  • What your teachers think of you?
  • What sort of a person you want to become in life?

Importance of Self Description Test in SSB

SELF DESCRIPTION provides a valuable information for the psychologist to assess the character traits of candidate and also to confirm his previous findings. The self description shows the maturity of a candidate’s personality. It shows whether a candidate is able to assess himself. If a person can assess himself, then he can surely assess others which is one of the most important quality of an officer.

Self Description Test in SSB and How to Tackle it

Tips to Crack Self Description Test

  • Listen to the instructions given by the Psychologist carefully.
  • Be true and frank in giving your  self-description. Never try to bluff about any of your qualities as the psychologist will easily find it out. Remind that psychologist is an experienced person he will easily find out the character traits even if you try to conceal.
  • Your emphasis should be on such points that reveal some traits of your personality.
  • We all have good traits as well as bad ones. Please write your bad points  along with your good ones.
  • You should take care that your self- description should never contradict with any of the information given to the board.
  • Maintain a good writing speed.
  • Never try to memorize any self description from anywhere and produce it before the board. It will only reduce your chances of selection as the SD will have no connection with your personality traits.
  • Do not write strong negative things about you. There is much difference between weaknesses and negative qualities. Be positive.

Practice for Self Description Test

Observe the comments made about you by your parents, friends, teachers or you may directly ask them. Note these points on a paper and try to make a sample description. You have to practice it more and more times that you will be able to finish the description within allotted time. See that your friends, parent’s or teacher ‘s view should never contradict with your self- analysis and also among themselves. Practice will help you to eliminate unimportant points and give importance to important ones. Practice will improve  your speed and confidence.
You are once again warned that you should never copy a Self Description from a book or from the internet and re produce it in the SSB AS IT WILL HAVE NO CONNECTION WITH YOU and character traits differ from person to person.

In short , have truthfulness and honesty while writing a SD and try to give a balanced view of your personality.

PGT Progressive Group Task

Progressive Group Task PGT, consists of a number of obstacles which are generally four in number which progressively become difficult. PGT is about set of obstacles in ground in a specified area in that you and your team members should cross each obstacle defined by set of rules.  Also while crossing those obstacles we should carry a load.  To cross those obstacles, some helping materials are given by the G.T.O.  i.e. Balli (wooden log), Plank, and rope to tie these. The difficulty of the task increases from one obstacle to another in a progressive manner.  So it is named as Progressive Group Task.

Aim of PGT

It is to test the practical ability and intelligence of a candidate in negotiating simple obstacles with a group of persons within fixed time. It is a leaderless exercise. The GTO checks for three qualities in PGT – ability to find out some quick solution using practical intelligence, secondly ability to make constructive suggestions to influence the group and thirdly, ability of association with the group.
Each candidate’s leadership qualities, ability to carry on with his team, co-operation with team members, planning ability and physical endurance is put to test in PGT.

PGT Rules:

  • Group Rule: The entire group has to tackle the group obstacles before moving for the next obstacle.
  • The out of bounds area just as other Group tasks.
  • Color Rule: Red is out of bound for both men and material, yellow color is out of bound for material and white color is inbound for both.

 Hints for Tackling PGT:

  • Listen to the instructions of the GTO carefully.
  • While the GTO is explaining the obstacle to the group, start planning in your mind.
  • Must know how to make bridges with planks.
  • Follow the out of bounds rule and Group rule strictly.
  • If you have ample confidence that your plan works well, have the first opportunity to explain your plan and put across your views firmly.
  • If you have no idea of tackling the obstacle, be a faithful follower and if your group is caught in an obstacle, make use of the Golden opportunity and explain a constructive plan to negotiate the obstacle. Remember, never try to impose yourself to the group. Let the group be depended on you.
  • The GTO is not testing whether you can cross the obstacle alone. It is a group work and you have to act as such. Show maximum team spirit and co-operation.
  • It is for you to become the leader of the Group. An avenue for leadership is opened to you and you must make use of it. Practical intelligence, dashing spirit, sociability, dominating nature and of course your personal magnetism will make you the leader
  • Most importantly, never look at the GTO while crossing the obstacles.
  • Keep up your speed while crossing the obstacles .Race against time and finish the job at a hurricane speed.
