Important of PIQ form in SSB Interview

PIQ form is the first thing you fill after you clear your screening test and the beginning of your stage 2 testing. The Candidate’s PIQ form is circulated to the Psychologists and the Interviewing Officer and GTO in some cases. Their assessment is either based on your PIQ form or compared to your PIQ form.

PIQ forms a base of your personality and the psychologist forms an opinion about the candidate through their PIQ form. The psychologist may interpret the candidates’ background, their family, and other social parameters from their PIQ form. Based on this information and the assessment done by them based on the candidate’s responses in psychological tests, they predict whether the candidate has given a genuine reaction in the paper or not.

Most of the questions asked by IO in the personal interview are based on your PIQ form, IO goes through your PIQ form well in advance and come up with some questions to crosscheck your PIQ form, questions used to cross-check are so indirect and you might take it in ease but you should not contradict what you have written in the PIQ form. So it is better to write what you are and what you can prove during the personal interview.

PIQ form background questions

  • The place of residence – In terms of facilities available in any city, it may be different in a metro city compared to that of a very small town. The facilities the candidate might have got during his upbringing and how judicially they have used those facilities can be predicted. Clearly, it gives a lot of insight into the candidate. This shows how parameters are formed about different candidates and they aren’t judged on a single scale.
  • Your Family background and parents’ occupation – The education level of the candidate’s family can be used to predict the level of awareness that a candidate gets while growing up. Similarly, if a family has sufficient income then it is a higher possibility that the candidate must have got optimum resources for their overall personality development.

Its All About Being Yourself In SSB Interview

its+all+about+being+yourself+in+SSB+Interview

Yes SSB is one of the very challenging and unique interview, its stressful for someone and on the other hand few enjoys it ( probably the freshers ). Yes it unique because it judge you on different level unlike common interviews which just go with your academics and personality even without judging it properly. But this is not the case with SSB interview, we always listen from others specially from the recommended one that ” just be yourself in SSB interview ” so what is it ??

What do you mean by being yourself, its simple, perform more than your ability but without changing your “unique” way to do the things, do not hold a mask.
What is the job of SSB Board:
1. They should provide the best men in the forces, and there is no scope for error. So they are very selective and they have unique methods to find the ” right fit “.
2 Also they should select the one who can utilize his/her ability in the Organization, and do not feel that he/she is in wrong place.
“One wrong person selected for a given job can cause a host of problems in an organization. Therefore, an rganization should ensure that suitable people are recruited, even if it involves some investment. There is a difference between the selection system between the corporate / private enterprise and the Armed Forces. The selection at the entry level in the private world is done on ‘as required basis’ and has the ‘best fit’ philosophy,meaning that the best of the lot is selected. The Armed Forces has a ‘right fit’ philosophy, wherein the Selection Centres are not aware of the vacancies and they recommend aspirants for selection, whom they find fit for the services.”
” If you are in uniform and someone says that you are not a good officer, how will you feel, it will be a very bad feeling , that’s the reason why SSB board tells you earlier that you are no meant for this organization and you may do wonders somewhere else” 
But again it gives you chances to comeback and prove yourself again !! Hardly you will get such chances in other sectors. Yes you can develop certain qualities with time which are required in a person to become an officer. Remember as I said there is no scope for error, if they find any doubt regarding you; they will not gonna select you, so do not hold a mask until unless you know how to hold it properly.
Also SSB needs a person who is good in his attitude , the way he/she act and react to the situations , someone is gentle and clever . Because you can change someone physically but its hard to change the mentality and attitude of someone in the training duration, that it the reason Psychology test hold so much of importance in SSB.
So practice hard for your SSB, don’t think much , behave in your normal way, think with a free mind , put your best effort , and you will be in sooner or later.
