Passing Screening Test is A Luck in SSB Interview

We know that passing and surviving in screening is the major challenge for the candidates because no one wants to go back home on the same day ? Its a very bad feeling for us to return home doing nothing, so you must have seen that most of us wants to get in by hook or crook and do something “odd” which spoils the whole screening procedure, sometimes you may think that screening is just depends on the luck and nothing else.

You just need a good day and mood so that you can prepare a good story, also you need a matured group who discuss in well behaved manner and do not create a “Fish Market” as assessors use to say. Do you think it really depends on the luck whether you will be in or out?? because everybody thinks that he has done his best to survive in screening but couldn’t make it, so its all luck isn’t it?? [How to pass PPDT]

A person who got screened out many times or most of the time or ” almost every time” thinks what wrong with me and with my PPDT ?? Candidates should know that this procedure is very crucial, even a Recommended candidate having 100% chances of getting screened out if he/she do not perform up to the mark.As we have already discussed about ” How to pass PPDT ? ” in our blog so do check that out for more help.

Group Discussion

PPDT is not just on luck, but it depends on your performance and your qualities which you have to show during screening.An assessor wants to select someone who is capable of showing his/her OLQs in rest of the 5 days too and not someone who don’t have it at all( you may have but you didn’t show during screening). What do you mean by qualities, yes qualities comes out from your story and your behavior and attitude during the discussion. So do not just sit there and thinking of some miracle will happen to make you through screening but start performing and you will definitely make it.

Self Description Test Of SSB Interview

August 9, 2011

Self description test in SSB is very important and critical test, it tells about one’s personality more clearly. Self description is a tool for psychologist to know about the candidates behavior and attitude and his/her relationship and behavior in the society. Time allotted for self description is 15 mins in which you have to answer 5 important questions. Time is important so manage your time for each question and avoid long paragraphs.

What are the questions ?
A.WHAT DOES YOUR PARENTS THINK ABOUT YOU ?
B.WHAT DOES YOUR TEACHER/EMPLOYER THINK ABOUT YOU ?
C.WHAT DOES YOUR FRIENDS/COLLEAGUES THINK ABOUT YOU ?
D.WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT YOURSELF ?
E.QUALITIES YOU WOULD LIKE TO IMPROVE IN THE FUTURE ?

Tips:
1 Divide the time to answer each and every questions correctly.
2 Do not neglect your strong and weak points.
3 Do not try to hide your weaknesses, if you do so you will never come out of it.
4 Cleverly mention you strong points which shows some OLQs.
5 Avoid writing too much ” strong words ” , be in a normal mode.
6 First analyse what your parents, friends and teachers thinks about you and write it in well mannered
7 Do not contradict with the matter written in your PIQ form, be careful.
8 All strong and weak points of yours must reflects in others tests.

For example if you say in self description that, you want to learn swimming and on the other hand you write a story in TAT in which your hero is swimming across a river, you will be contradicting your own statment then and it will leads to bad personality .

The meaning of your responses in TAT

By

The TAT was originally designed to determine the degree to which people wrote about themes relating to achievement, affiliation, and power. Although there are a series of different TAT pictures, this one is somewhat related to each of these themes — although most people make up a story with achievement themes. For example, some people emphasize the nature of the experiment or scientific discovery (reflecting the writer’s interests in achievement and success); others may focus on the nature of the friendship between the two women (interests in affiliation); yet others may focus on the status differences of the two women (reflecting the writer’s concerns with status and power); By analyzing the words that you use, we can get a rough sense of your interest in each of these themes.

Here is a short analysis of your word use.

Need for Achievement. The typical person generally scores between 4.5 and 8.5, with an average of 5.7. The higher your number, the more you wrote about achievement-related themes.

Need for Affiliation. Because this picture typically elicits themes associated with achievement, most people don’t pay too much attention to human relationships in their story. In fact, the typical person scores around 1.2 on this dimension. Indeed, 30% of participants score 0.00.

Need for Power. Most people score between 0.8 and 2.7, with the average being 1.7. High scores on the need for power dimension hint that the writer is concerned with who is or is not in control and who has the most status.

One thing that is interesting about this kind of exercise is that language analyses can tell us many things about the writer that go far beyond power, achievement, and affiliation.

Self-references: People who use a high rate of self-references tend to be more insecure, nervous, and possibly depressed. They also tend to be more honest.

Social words: Social words are words that make reference to other people (e.g., they, she, us, talk, friends). Generally, people who use a high level of social words are more outgoing and more socially connected with others.

Positive emotion words: The more that people use positive emotion words (e.g. happy, love, good), the more optimistic they tend to be. If you feel good about yourself, you are more likely to see the world in a positive way.

Negative emotion words: Use of negative emotion words (e.g., sad, kill, afraid) is weakly linked to people’s ratings of anxiety or even neurotic. People who have had a bad day are more likely to see the world through negatively-tinted glasses.

Big words (words with more than 6 letters): Use of big words is weakly related to higher grades and standardized test scores. People who use a high rate of big words also tend to be less emotional and oftentimes psychologically distant or detached.
