What Is Personality?
Personality is not an agreed upon concept. The psychologists define it with reference to various personality traits. It is not surprising to find hundreds of definitions for personality in any general book of personality psychology. Alone Allport has identified 17953 traits of a human personality. What more... Some people even believe that personality remains constant throughout your life. The best definition that most of the psychologists conform is: Personality is an individuals characteristic and distinctive patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.
Different personality career tests measure different personality traits, depending upon different theories. The most respected Meyers Briggs personality career tests identify the following four universal mutually exclusive patterns of human personality types: 1- Extroversion vs. Introversion (E1) 2- Thinking vs. Feeling (TF) 3- Sensing vs. Intuiting (SN) 4- Judging vs. Perceiving (JP) Click to Work Out Meyers Briggs Personality Types ...or Take this Test! Temperament types theory is an amalgmation of Myers Briggs personality types and ancient ideas of Hippocrates about on four humors. However, temperament theory is not considered a variant of type theory. The big five personality test is also a popular model. They measure following factors of your personality: 1- Extroversion vs. Introversion 2- Emotional Stability vs. Emotionally Reactiveness 3- Agreeableness vs. Disagreeable 4- Conscientiousness vs. Spontaneous 5- Openness vs. Traditional Mindset There are other test which measure different patterns depending upon their theories, methodologies and interpretations. They include objective tests, enneagram personality tests , and personality color tests.

Extroverts vs. Introverts (EI) First two mutually exclusive patterns tell where you prefer to get energized. If you are stimulated by the environment, you are an Extrovert (E). This personality type likes to be more social, expressive and outward. However, if you are stimulated by your inner imaginations, thoughts and ideas, you will be classified as an introvert (I). This psychological type prefers solitude, quietness and concentration over gatherings. Sensing vs. Intuitive (SN) These two patterns reveal what resources you preferably utilize to process a piece of information. If you primarily use your five senses, you are sensing (S) type. However, if you preferably rely upon your intuition, unconscious and insights, your type is intuitive (N). The former type is more practical, and analyzes what is real, factual and experienced. The latter one is more imaginative, and looks for new possibilities, novelties and potentials. Thinking vs. Feeling (TF) These two patterns tell what kind of reasons you count for to make a decision. If you prefer logics, analysis, and facts, you are a thinking (T) type. Your decisions would be more objective. However, if you prefer emotions, instincts and motivations, you are a feeling (F) type. Your decisions would be more subjective and value-oriented. Judging vs. Perceiving (JP) The last two patterns reveal how much organization you prefer in your life. If you prefer to be structured, organized and decisive, you are a judger (J). You would most probably love to control flow of your activities. You prefer to decide in advance what to do, what to say and where to go. However, if you prefer to be flexible with unfolding of events, you are a perceiver (P). You would most probably be more curious, adaptable and open. You prefer to delay your decisions for the last minute crucial information.

It all started when Allport challenged psychologists, in 1930s, to organize different variations of human personality in the least number of lexical units. Some of his contemporaries believed that natural languages have such words which can be used to describe all variations in the human psychology. This lexical hypothesis led them to generate a number of lists which mainly focused upon five big traits of the human personality. However, the current structure of the big 5 personality tests didnt appear until two different teams of psychologists administered different inventories to thousands of the people. One team was led by Paul Costa and Robert McCare and the other by Warren Norman and Lewis Goldberg. The both groups analyzed their deduced data and concluded in 1970 that human personality can be described with five big factors. The five factor model gave birth to the five factor theory which resulted in a number of big 5 personality tests. Their exponents rightfully claim that this model does not root in theory but in experiment. Lately many testing companies and nations are shifting towards this test. In words of Oliver P. John and others: "The comprehensive analyses in Dutch have provided so far the strongest crosslanguage evidence for the Big 5. Results from a study of English-German bilinguals indicate that the Big 5 form internally consistent and relatively independent dimensions in German as well.... Finally, factor analyses of translations of Norman's...20 scales have replicated the Big 5 in Japanese...."

integration. The modern day enneagram personality tests follow expounded theories of these two big names.
Ennea-gram is a Greek word where ennea means nine and gram means a diagram. It is comprised of the following basic elements...
A Circle and 9 Points This model follows a symbolic circle containing nine points (1-9) equidistantly on its circumference. Each point is expressed with a characteristic which is considered dominant for that type. A Hexagon The enneagram personality tests believe that the most important numbers are 1, 3 and 7. When you divide number 1 by 7, you shall get an infinite series of numbers 142857. Just connect the numbers in this direction and you shall get a hexagon. A Triangle The numbers 9-3-6 can be divided with 3 for whole numbers. Connect them with lines and you shall get a triangle.

1- Most of the mechanical aptitude tests are administered in written format with paper and pencil, or computer and mouse. You are required to identify and mark the correct logical solutions for the proposed mechanical problem. 2- Most of the mechanical aptitude questionnaires are administered to groups as well as individuals effectively. However, some of them are applied to the individuals in one-to-one fashion. 3- Many tests consist of a number of diagrams of mechanical objects. Some focus upon describing the problems in verbal format. But their range comprises of a number of mechanical areas to make them universal. 4- Some old aptitude mechanical tests are read over to the subjects. You are required to identify the right solution for the cited problems. This format is getting the least attention for objectivity issues.
Before making your choices, read the instructions very carefully. Some mechanical tests may allow you to make notes upon the question paper but most of them shall not provide the facility. In the former situation, the testers want to analyze your short term memory and aptitude simultaneously. In the later case, they want to analyze your reasoning system. Follow the directions very strictly.

What is Intelligence?
factor... You need to define intelligence before you start measuring 'g'
Unfortunately there is no standardized definition for this conceptual word 'intelligence'. Most of the psychologists equate it with different acquirable capabilities. In 1986, during a controlled study, a group of 25 psychologists defined intelligence in 25 different ways. The definitions included adaptability to a new situation, cognitive capabilities, logical thinking, abstract thinking, originality, alertness, common-sense, productiveness and creativity. Most of these traits can be improved... David Wechsler may be right to claim that an idiot can't become a mathematician with any amount of training and hard work. But Wechsler IQ test scores still identify improvable capabilities and mental retardations. Most of the IQ test fans define intelligence what an IQ test can measure. But there are certain capabilities which IQ tests can't measure. They include creativity, non-academic talents, musical capability, manual dexterity, interpersonal skills etc. Then what is 'intelligence'? A concept is still looking for a scientific expression.... .....and WAIS is claiming to measure it!

education, culture, socio-economic conditions and the current state of your mind. 1- Vocabulary The WAIS IQ test identifies your comprehension of meanings and relations between the expressive words. It is your mental conception of a thing or situation that gives meaning to the spoken or written words. The Wechsler IQ test generally assumes that your native language is English. However, if English is not your native language or you differ from others in culture, your IQ may vary considerably. Education, experience and life-style also contribute for better scoring in this sub-test. 2- Arithmetic The WAIS IQ test offers simple arithmetic problems to identify your mental alertness. This sub-test is commonly called math IQ test when it is administered separately. It focuses upon your attention, concentration and arithmetic reasoning. The questions are asked in a story telling way and you are asked to reason arithmetically to answer them. Your education, vocation and practice play great role in IQ test results. When you have daily life interaction with arithmetic or practice such puzzles and questions, you shall have better IQ then those who dont have such opportunities. 3- Information The WAIS IQ test measures your general knowledge with this sub-test. It focuses upon your capability to understand simple information correctly. Culture, education, residence and life-experience strongly influence your IQ test rating. The questions originate from a particular culture to know your general knowledge attainment. 4- Comprehension The WAIS IQ test measures your social awareness and common-sense with this sub-test. It focuses upon your social sense and your conception of cultural values. When such sub-test is prepared for the USA citizens, others may get low IQ scoring. Secondly, no candidate shall like to answer in a fashion that his society rejects. For example, you are asked about your reaction on finding a bag full of dollars. You may need that bag in your heart but you shall like to answer as the society demands. 5- Digit Span The WAIS IQ test assesses your auditory short memory, concentration and attention with this sub-set. You are given digit strings and asked to repeat them first forward and then backward. When you are encountering this sub-set with full attention, calmness and fresh mind, your IQ test rating shall boost. However, when you are in anxiety, tension or depression, your IQ test score shall fall considerably. 6- Similarities in Dissimilar Objects The WAIS IQ test measures your abstract reasoning and power of conceptualization. You are given a set of apparently dissimilar objects to identify abstract similarities amongst them. This is also a culturally influenced test.

But they all and many other characteristics are expressions of your personality. I dont find it wise to define your personality. Admittedly it is an abstract reality. You get it with your birth. You can either develop it or disintegrate. Your style, behaviors and reactions are expressions of your developed, undeveloped or underdeveloped personality. How do you look? How do you react? How do you talk? How do you live? How do you think? They all are expressions of your personality. The psychometrics measures these expressions and not your personality. The abstract nature of personality can neither be measured nor be analyzed with any scientific or non-scientific tool. It can only be visualized. It can be developed. It can be disintegrated. Your thinking and doing makes all out the difference. A developed personality gives better style, behaviors and reactions than an undeveloped one.

4. 20-35 years (Focusing upon both types of behaviors while starting with opposite functions.) 5. 35-50 years (Maximum development of all kinds of behaviors.) 6. From 50 onward (Strengthening of fully developed functions.) Primary Dominant Behaviors There are four dominant primary behaviors of Myers-Briggs personality types model; extroversion vs. introversion and sensing vs. intuition. People start showing their extroversion or introversion from their early childhood. They refine their perception system a bit later. Auxiliary Supporting Behaviors These four behaviors; thinking vs. feeling and judging vs. feeling, are considered auxiliary for Myers-Briggs personality types. Your systems to decide and organize the things support your primary behaviors. Opposite Behaviors Opposite behaviors do not mean other side of the midnight they are simply those behaviors which you express under circumstances but dont feel comfortable with. It is your self-control and learning capability that rub out that discomfort. Your working environment may catch your anger but you can develop a peaceful mind by enlarging your picture. A balanced personality can never be an extreme Myers-Briggs Type... Thats why some psychologists prefer to express types not as ESTJ, INFJ and ISTP but as EiSnTfJp, IeNsFtJp and IeSnTfPj types. They theorize that small letters convey those behaviors which you are not comfortable with but you can express them too. Work Out Your Myers-Briggs Personality Types Yourself...

Rise in the Average IQ test scores has invalidated Average IQ test Results.
Consistent Rise in the Average IQ Test Scores Has Exposed Tests' Validity!
The average IQ test scores have consistently been rising for the last couple of decades. The development has not only put a big question mark upon validity of the average IQ test results but also given birth to a number of conflicting explanations. Some psychologists include environment, improved nutrition, smaller families, technology and training as the crucial factors behind the rising trend. However, they are far from any agreement.
Rise in the Average IQ test scores has invalidated Average IQ test Results.
increase in the IQ test results may not be permanent. Smaller Families He also observed that the people are trying to keep their families smaller. This has allowed them to focus their due attention and resources upon the mental growth of the children. Improved Nutrition Flynn observed that rise in the average IQ test scores is more prominent in those countries where nutrition has been improving for past couple of decades. He said that malnutrition definitely delays mental development of children. He theorized that nutrition has been causing proper development of mental capabilities.
Rise in the Average IQ test scores has invalidated Average IQ test Results.
(It is)...the abstraction of intelligence as a single entity, its location within the brain, its quantification as one number for each individual, and the use of these numbers to rank people in a single series of worthiness, invariably to find that oppressed and disadvantaged groups--races, classes, or sexes--are innately inferior and deserve their status. (The Mismeasure of Man). Socio-Economic Conditions The studies of Greg Duncan at Northwestern University and Jean Brooks-Gunn and Pamela Klebanov at Columbia University, have proved that socio-economic conditions are one factor behind fluctuating average IQ test scores. Better socioeconomic conditions cause better development of mental capabilities. They proved that average IQ test results of blacks and whites living in the same kind of conditions differ slightly. On the basis of their experiments, they rejected the theory that blacks have 15 points shorter IQ to the white population. Preparation and Right Information It is doubtful that intelligence is rising. However, even if it is admitted as a natural result of evolution, it cant rise with the speed as IQ test results have been showing. Most of the test takers know that IQ test results are going to play an important role in their future. Thats why 97% people go through some sort of training to score better in the IQ test sessions. Is it not the most important factor behind rise of average IQ test scores? Then there are a number of companies claiming to boost your IQ either with information or with tools. The opinion of Dov Libeman, a Housting University professor is conclusive: Intelligence is a multi-faceted thing, incapable of being summed up by one number, and all a consistent rise in IQ test scores tells you is that people have learned better how to take them.

Career choice has become a complex science with the advent of computer technology and beginning of post-industrial revolution. In old golden days, a fulltime life employment was matter of your graduation or certification from a professional institution. However, now you need not only to make due career planning but also exhaustive career research before making any career choice. You are required to adjust your tunes with the changing socio-economic conditions as well. But keep in mind... ...there is no shortage of opportunities! At different periods the tide of opportunity sets in different directions, according to the needs of the whole and the particular stage of social evolution which has been reached. There is abundance of opportunity for the person who will go with the tide, instead of trying to swim against it. (Wallace D. Wattles)
Lack of Career Planning Most of the people are looking merely for a job. They dont care whether the applied job is according to their aptitudes and passion. They are likely to sign contract for the first job that they encounter without any kind of career planning. This unplanned decision may result in many frustrated years in a wrong career. Many times it is too late to change your career choices. Inadequate Career Research The second most hazardous problem in making a right career choice is inadequate career research. You may have planned your career a bit but ignorance of the latest developments in the job market may push you for a dying opportunity. You may realize after many years that your opportunity has no more spot in the changing socio-economic evolution. Hidden Opportunities Generally, hidden opportunities mean those jobs which are not advertised. However, we include those opportunities as well which are novel to the current job market. There is no shortage of opportunities. The people who travel with the changing socio-economic conditions face no shortage of them. But most of them require you to identify them with your passion, education and experience. It is not surprising that on one hand the unemployment rate is increasing. On the other hand there is acute shortage of skilled people in the fields of computer, technology and electrical systems. The problem is not with the opportunities but with the old fashioned education which most of the countries are departing to their students. When they come to the practical life, they feel that many of the jobs related to their formal education are either dried up or given birth to new opportunities for which they dont have any kind of skills. Contractual Opportunities The days of life-time opportunities are almost over. Most of the organizations, private or public, prefer to hire the people on contract for some period or particular season. The contractual period not only lets you to analyze your career choice but also helps the employers to measure your future performance. If you prove your worth to the organization, the employers may like to keep you even with bigger compensations. However, shorter periods may lead you to make wrong career choice. Aptitude testing When you are looking for jobs, short or long term, you will have to pass through the career aptitude tests. The psychologists try to measure your talents to cultivate certain kinds of skills. If they see that you are unable to meet the required standards, they shall most probably vote against your hiring. Though they have not come with solid evidence to prove their claims but employers are turning towards them heavily to avoid bad-hire. They can prove detrimental to you career choice if you fail to show your mental alertness in career aptitude testing.
You need to go to the session with fresh and free mind. It is advisable to prepare before encountering any aptitude test. Communication Skills Most of the neo-industrial evolution opportunities relate to the public dealing. If you dont have adequate communication skills, you may not prove a good employee for any organization. You need to deal with people effectively for better of the organization. Unfortunately, most of the people fail to develop their communicative skills before making a career choice.
MAPP reveals the real you: your natural motivations, interests and talents for work. This discovery leads you to make a right career choice. Make Your Career Choice Convert Your Knowledge Into Online Career Confucius says: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." However, when you don't find such a job, don't go for any job. Re-calculate your hobbies, passion and knowledge and turn that into your career. Click Here

In Greek Mythology, when gods created man, they endowed him with divinity. However, the man started challenging them. They feared his potentials and decided to deprive him of the might. Where to hide the divinity? was the big question They considered heights of icy mountains, limits of shining stars and pits of the earth. But every place was accessible to mans capabilities. Then they decided to hide it within the man himself. Since then the man has been climbing icy mountains. He has navigated deep seas. He has traversed moon. His machines have even touched Mars. But he is still looking for his lost paradise. Man, it is inside you! They call it personality now. It is scientific to ask how it comes into being. Is it inheritable? Is it natural? Is it outcome of environment? Have you any will to change your behaviors or you are bound to follow the dictates? Nature vs Nurture theories focus upon these issues. The new discoveries in genome and quantum physics have revived the debate. Incidentally, more they discover, more they bewilder. The abstraction continues intensifying.
Personality is Natural
This group believes that your personality is result of evolutionary process. You inherit behaviors due to complex interaction of genes. They control your
behaviors. So you dont have a free will to act otherwise. They believe that types and characteristics measured with personality tests remain constant throughout your life. You may sharpen your types or temperaments but can never change them.
Personality is Nurtured
This group argues that you dont get your personality inherited. Your mind is a blank slate at your birth. It is your environment, education and culture that make up your behaviors. There are differences on the issue of free will to change your behaviors. They argue that types and characteristics measured with personality tests change continuously throughout your life.
Personality is Spiritual
This group claims that your personality is result of neither nature nor nurture. It is gift of some deity. They are split on the issue of free will. However, except Enneagram personality test, the leaders in this school don't believe in measurement of personality.

2- There was a first Causer When you affirm the first statement, you agree that there might be other events which dont have preceding causes. The birth of personality is one of them. However, if you agree with the second statement, then you are siding with the spiritual school of thought.

Storage of charge is the property of which electronic component? (i) capacitor (ii) transistor (iii) transformer (iv) resistor
Answer
Paragraph Comprehension
This vocational aptitude test measures your ability to obtain information from the written material. For example; Read the following specimen passage carefully: The communities of ants are sometimes very large numbering upto 500 individuals and it is a lesson to us that no one has ever yet seen a quarrel between any two ants of same community. On the other hand it must be admitted that they are in hostility not only with most other insects including ants of different species, but even with those of same species belonging to different communities. I have over and over introduced ants from one nest to another of same species and they were invariably attacked, seized by a leg or antenna and dragged out. It has been suggested that ants of each nest have some sign or password by which they recognize each other. To test this I tried to intoxicate them by putting them in whisky for a few minutes. Then I put a paint spot on their leg to recognize them. Then I put them on the table where ants from other nest were feeding. The ants which were feeding soon noticed them. They seemed quite astonished to find their comrades in such a disgraceful condition and were as much at a loss to know what to do with them as we were. After a while they carried them all away; They took their friends home while the strangers were dropped at the edge of the table. Thus, it was evident that they know their friend even when it is incapable of giving any sign or password. Q 1) What lesson writer wants to give? Q 2) How do ants from different community behave? How did he judge it? Q 3) How did the ants deal with drunk ants? Q 4) Choose an appropriate title.

Easier to Administer
David Wechsler and his followers have developed more than 10 different major Wechsler I.Q Tests so far. They all remained loyal to the basic content and format. You can find very little variation in the number of sub-tests. At least eight sub-tests are present in the whole family of Wais intelligence tests. The examiners find it easier to switch from one Wechsler IQ test to another for administering purposes.
Easier to Compute
It is not only easier but also better to compute your mental functionalities in different sector. A single global IQ score is no more acceptable. Wechsler IQ tests provide the system to measure your specific strengths and weaknesses. Each section helps in collecting very useful data for your personality profile. Furthermore, the mean for IQ and Index scores is standardized at 100. The standard deviation is 3 and 15 for sub-tests and the overall calculation of your scores, respectively. This helps the examiners to analyze your capabilities in different sections.
Easier to Compare
The Wechsler IQ tests have made it possible to compare functionalities of your right and left hemispheres of your brain, separately. There are 5-6 sub-tests in
http://www.personality-and-aptitude-career-tests.com/wechsler-iq-tests.html (1 of 2) [5/24/2006 11:31:38 AM]
the verbal scale and 6 in the performance scale. A joint description of these two factors of intelligence may explain your collective smartness.
Easier to Revise
The Wais tests have gone through many revisions so far. It is merely for the fact that David Wechsler had established a formula to switch from one version to another, easily. Many generations have been produced and many more are in offing.

The critics have observed that though Wonderlic IQ test has attained a lot of respect for the claims of reliability but it still lacks some solid arguments. Wrong Interpretive Guidelines Like any standardized intelligence test, the Wonderlic IQ test contains interpretive guidelines to help the examiners as well as to maintain a uniformity of form and content. The critics suggest that the interpretive instructions of the Wonderlic test are arbitrary and unnecessarily restrictive. For example, the manual suggests that when you score between 16 and 22, you have a limited capacity for anything other than routine tasks. However, these scores correspond to the IQ of 93 and 104 respectively, which is a normal range of intelligence. Do you think that people of the average IQ test score are incapable to perform any thing else except the routine jobs? Unfair to Different Races The manual also lists cutting scores for over 75 occupations. It raises the specter of an under-trained personnel officer over-interpreting individual scores. Consequently, the results are problematic to the racial minorities. The race differences for the Wonderlic scores are significant (Geisinger, 2001). The African Americans always score low than their white Americans. It is sick to believe that people can be inferior or superior in intelligence just for their racial differences. Unfair to Non-English Speakers The Wonderlic test is a speed IQ test. You have to solve all the items within twelve minutes. It has such a heavy reliance on speed that points are added for candidates at the age of 30 or above to compensate for the well known decrement in speed that accompanies the normal aging. This situation is unfair for the foreigners whose native language is not English. They are unfairly penalized (Belcher, 1992). The evasion of time limit may help fairness a bit but the testing industry and supporters of the Wonderlic test do not support this idea.

Detailed Instructions
The Wechsler adult intelligence scale contains detailed directions for the examiners and examinees. You will find the same kind of material, same types of time limits and same genre of the oral instructions. You will also find preliminary examples to solve the offered multiple choice questionnaire.
Establishment of Norm
Norm stands for normal or average... The Wechsler adult intelligence test doesnt provide any space for failing or passing. Your correct answers provide empirical data to help comparing your capabilities with other candidates in the same session. The process gives a raw score that is called norm of the Wechsler adult intelligence test. It is useless unless it is evaluated in terms of suitable interpretive data.

This vital statement for Wechsler intelligence tests is not more than a philosophical choice. It has neither any ground nor any experimental proof. No scholar can prove it as an inherent character of human nature. It varies from person to person. However, it is widely accepted in the testing industry. Wechsler intelligence test is different from the previous psychological instruments. It is a point scale rather than a mental age scale. Mental age is no more important for grouping the items. Rather, you are scored for your correct answers. These raw scores are then converted into standard scores, which are related to IQ values. An average standard score of Wechsler intelligence test is IQ of 100.

Important Tips
Keep in mind that there are no specific study guides available for Defense Language Aptitude Battery. And they can be written neither because every tester builds his own fake language and fake rules. However, if you focus upon the following tips, you may score better than others.
Grammar and Syntax
Fluency in English language is not sufficient if you dont have good understanding of English grammar and syntax. You need to know how verbs work, how objectives work, how adjectives and possessives work, etc.
Manipulation of Grammatical Rules
As you would be offered fake rules so you must have ability to manipulate the current grammar rules. When you are given a rule that adjectives follow nouns, then it's not a 'blue dog' no matter how many times audio repeats it, it's a 'dog blue.'
Structure of Sentences
You should know how English sentences are constructed i.e. Subject-Verb-Object. Recognize accentuation, syllable breaks, word patterns etc. For example you want to be a German linguist, just have a look that how the sentences differ from those of English. A good way is to know the letters pronounced in other languages
Repetition of Questions
Keep your ears open to audio portion of the exam as there is no repetition of the questions. There is a question then a small pause for you to answer, then another question. If you cannot answer one question, don't think and concentrate on the beginning of next. Be careful in this part.
The defense language aptitude battery tries to measure your abilities to segment and identify distinct sounds, to form associations between those sounds and symbols representing them, and to retain these associations.
Grammatical Sensitivity
The DLAB also measures your ability to recognize the grammatical function of words or other linguistic structures in sentences.
Rote Learning Ability
People vary in their ability for rote learning. The defense aptitude battery tries to determine your level of rote learning.
Inductive Language Learning Ability
Can you infer the rules that govern use of languages? Your ability to follow fake rules are also analyzed. Home Audio and Video Segments of Defense Language Aptitude Battery Site Map

Different stress upon different words changes their meanings Generally, an audio tape is used to pronounce four different words. One of these words will have a different stress pattern than the others. You are to recognize and select that word on your answer sheet.
Fake Rules for the Fake Language
In this part of the audio segment, you are introduced to fake rules to a modified English language (created for the test).

Defense Language Aptitude Tests measure your potentials for foreign languages.
For example, you may be given a rule that all nouns are preceded by verbs or nouns and verbs will always end in the same vowel sound. You would then translate a given English phrase into a phrase compatible with the fake rules of the fake language. For example, you are shown the phrase "The car moves," followed by four choices: A-"movsie, carie;" B-"carie movsie;" C-"movsie cario;" D-"caro movn." Your answer should be "A" because the verb precedes the noun and both end in the same vowel sound. Be cautious!! Most of the defense language aptitude tests follow different fake rules for different fake languages. You may be asked to express possessions, noun acting on another noun with a verb etc. The audio segment finally combines all these rules to test your understanding in terms of long sentences.

Carl Jung (1922) Carl Jung, a Swiss psychologist, was the first man to theorize that people always prefer certain identifiable behaviors if they are given a free choice. He also said that on the basis of human preferences, they can be divided in different personality types. Due to the deafening noise of Freuds theories, Carl Jungs types were not taken seriously.

Your sources of energy are your powerful emotions. However, when you are surrounded by the pessimists, you feel shortage of energy. You feel your big picture blurring.

The lower I ratings may not fit to become a show-biz man but many jobs such as of scientists, spacemen, mathematicians, researchers etc are considered good for them.

The entire career screening exercise follows the hypothesis that psychometrics can skim up the best candidates who shall perform the same way in future. Unfortunately there is no evidence yet to prove this hypothesis. It is also not proved yet that the people who are rejected with the help of psychometrics can never succeed in those specific careers. Admittedly, these five factors include most of the behavioral dimensions. But behaviors have always been subject to improvement. The clinical treatment of extreme N type can decrease the intensity.

Controlled Response
The big five personality tests claim to measure your intensities in relation to the five big factors. The structure of the tests requires you to select your options from the multiple choice questionnaire. Higher demand for jobs and strong copetition forces the subjects to go for those options whicht they consider shall ensure their success. It becomes lot easier when they know which jobs are related to what qualities. In such situations, the results of the big five personality tests fail to build a definitive personality profile.
Concept of Personality
Here is my oft-repeated question What is the personality? (Read Personality Testing; Myth and Realities) The big five personality tests equate your personality to your collective degrees of behavior in five factors. For screening purposes, it is suggested that your personality shall remain the same in the real world situations. However, the personality is an amazing abstract entity. You can improve, refine and even control your intensities. It proves the results of the big five personality tests cant be definitive throughout your life. Pervin (1993) and Mischel (1995) claim that consistency in the results of psychometrics depends upon the individuals in the selected groups, circumstances, situations and the parameters adopted for the testing sessions.
Cultural Influences
The five big personality tests give you certain statements. You are asked to
agree, disagree or even stay in between. You shall, naturally, go for the options that are culturally and socially acceptable. On finding a purse full of money, you may not like to return that to the owner, but this kind of response proves you honest in the eyes of the employer. So, the results of big five personality tests are culturally tainted.
Lexical Hypothesis
It is claimed that the big five personality tests dont follow some kind of theory but the empirical data that was collected by the psychologists. However, its critics claim that that the big five factors were result of the challenge that Allport threw to his contemporaries. They believed that all natural languages have capability to explain all variations in human personality. Their lists caused generation of big five factors and the subsequent tests.
Barnum Effect
Palmistry and astrology have history of centuries behind them. However, most of the psychologists claim that the people accept different descriptions because they wish to see themselves as described. They also claim that most of such descriptions are open enough to fit any reader. Same is true with the big five personality tests... ...it is called Barnum Effect.
Monotonous Selection
Though, like other psychological instruments, the big five personality tests are not 100% reliable but they have potential to cluster candidates having same levels of intensities for the time being. This may generate a good team but the organization shall miss diversity. Different approaches, decision styles and intensities always cause novel ideas and breakthroughs.

Determinism
Like other psychological instruments, enneagram tests strive to determine your future behaviors with the help of enneagram personality types. They believe that you have to fit in one of the nine enneagram personality types.
Whatever you think, say or do is predetermined by your type. When you are responding to your environment as specified for your type, an enneagramists would suggest that your personality is in conflict with your essence. However, your real self or essence remains the same throughout you life. You cant change your type ever.
Personality Development
The enneagram model is mainly used to bring your personality in consonance with your essence. You are considered made of a physical body, an essence and a personality. The enneagram model suggests that you can develop your overall personality by creating harmony between your nature and nurture. Ichazo termed this process of harmonization as ego fixation. The modern experts call it personality development. Some enneagramists suggest that you dont carry an essence but a behavior that dominates your life. You continue getting influenced by your wings and by your points of security and stress. To develop your personality you need to believe that you have one of the nine types. Then you will have to read how you react to your environment. Then you need to remove those influences which your environment has developed in you since your childhood. This way you can develop your personality. Some exercises suggested for your self-control, ego fixation and personality development are similar to concentration practice, Yoga and magical. The philosophy is similar to that of mystics of almost all religions. They suggest that you are given a spirit and duty bound to cleanse it. You can purify your spirit
by abandoning the world, killing your desires and getting rid of environmental influences. Gurdjiif suggests: "Essence in man is what is his own. Personality in man is what is 'not his own.' 'Not his own' means what has come from outside, what he has learned, or reflects, all traces of exterior impressions left in the memory and in the sensations, all words and movements that have been learned, all feelings created by imitation -- all this is 'not his own,' all this is personality" (Gurdjiif quoted by Ouspensky, In Search of the Miraculous)
Numerological Influence?
Some critics suggest that the enneagram tests follow the idea of power of numbers. The model is considered akin to numerology. They suggest that Gurdjiif believes in the power of numbers 1, 3 and 7. The model utilizes the figure of zero and decimal system, which is an attempt to modernize it. However, the supporters of the enneagram tests reject this criticism by saying that numbers are nothing more than identification of nine points on the enneagram model. They are neither considered important nor have any kind of power behind them. They also claim that Gurdjiif simply believed that the figures 1,3 and 7 are the basic numbers for this universe. Some identification points are generated by diving 1 into 7. The other numbers are derived by multiplying 3 with 1, 2 and 3.
Different Ideologies
The enneagram model has gone through so many ideological revolutions that its originality has been overshadowed. Currently, different people like to explain it with different context. Some believe that your type is your: Fundamental strength Basic evil Basic sin Basic energy Biological instinct Emotional direction Essence Ego fixation
Motivational force Spiritual direction What is the truth? What enneagram type stands for? The exponents of this model dont give any practical and logical reasoning for the enneagram tests. They suggest that you need to study the system instead of depending upon your test results. You have only two options. Either accept the enneagram test results without any question or reject them altogether. Frankly speaking it seems a lot easier to reject the model instead of accepting it.
Advice
Read enneagram types and their descriptions. Then choose the description that fits or dominates you. It is your type. However, never make an important career decision on the results of enneagram tests. They are useful to visualize your strengths and remove your weaknesses. This model is not only a bit complex but more idiosyncratic. Home Enneagram Tests Enneagram Types 1,2,3 Enneagram Types 4,5,6 Enneagram Types 7,8,9

How do sound levels add? If there are two sound sources in a room - for example a radio producing an average sound level of 62.0 dB, and a television producing a sound level of 73.0 dB - then the total sound level is (i) 62 dB (ii) 73dB (iii) 73.3dB (iv) 68dB
Answer
The total sound level is a logarithmic sum ie Combined sound level = 10 x lg ( 10^(62/10) + 10^(73/10) ) = 73.3 dB Note: for two different sounds, the combined level cannot be more than 3 dB above the higher of the two sound levels. However, if the sounds are phase related then there can be increase up to a 6dB, in the SPL.
A 10N weight is balanced on the top of a vertical wheel which has a radius of 2m. What torque does the weight exert around the rotation axis of the wheel? (i) 20Nm.
0 as Torque = force times lever arm. The lever arm is zero, so the torque is zero.
Question
The moment of inertia of a 2kg barbell, which is held a distance of 0.1m from the rotation axis is: (i) 2kgm (ii) 0.2kgm (iii) 0.02kgm (iv) 0.002kgm Answer 0.02kgm.Mass times distance squared = (2kg)(0.1) = (2)(0.01)kgm.
Why does lure of a Direct Drive motor is that it runs at 33.33 RPM or about 0.5 revolutions per second. (i) There is no other way to design a motor (ii) Torque arrives in small packets (iii) If the motor spins fast the noises will fall into the audible range or a range that may excite arm-cartridge-suspension resonances. (iv) None of above
Answer
(iii) As motors turn, since they are imperfect in many ways, they will emit noises with each revolution. If the motor spins fast (600 or 1200 RPM are common speeds -yielding noise at multiples of 10 or 20 Hz) the noises will fall into the audible range or a range that may excite arm-cartridge-suspension resonance. At about
0.5 revolutions per second one would think that any noises developed by a direct drive motor would be insignificant.
A helicopter engine produces 1000ftlb of torque on the rotor blades. The rotor blades exert an equal and opposite reaction torque on the helicopter. To prevent the helicopter from spinning, a vertical tail rotor is placed at the end of a boom a distance of 10ft from the rotation axis of the rotor blades. How much sideways force (in pounds) must the tail rotor exert? (i) 10,000lb (ii) 1000lb (iii) 100lb (iv) 10lb
Answer
100lb Torque exerted by the tail rotor = 10ft times the thrust. (10ft)(thrust) = 1000ftlb. thrust = (1000ftlb)/(10ft)
A wooden block balances at its CG. If you cut the block at its CG and weigh each part of block, which end would weigh more? a) left part b) right part c) both will weigh equal d) either will be heavier
Answer
Both parts of the block will have equal weights. If it were not so, there will be a net torque on the block when you try to balance it at its CG.
What is the radii of curvature for a converging glass lens(n=1.52) in order for it to have a focal length of f= 20cm. Assuming R1=R2. (i) 22 (ii) 21 (iii) 20.8 (iv) None of the above
Answer
The focal length of a convex or a concave lens can be calculated by using the lens formula, 1/f = ( n - 1 )( 1/R1 - 1/R2 ) where f is the focal length of the lens, n is the refractive index of the material of the glass lens and R1, R2 are the radii of curvature of the curved surfaces of the lens. For a convex lens, R1 is positive and R2 is negative. For a concave lens, R1 is negative and R2 is positive. Here, f = 20, n = 1.52, R1 = R and R2 = - R. Substituting into the lens makers formula, R = 20.8 cm.

A seesaw on the playground is a: (i) lever (ii) inclined plane (iii) pulley (iv) none of above
Answer
(i)
Question
You would use a pulley to: (i) cut food (ii) hold pieces of wood together (iii) guide the sail on a sailboat (iv) none of above
Answer
(iii)
(ii) provide torque and direction (iii) provide fuel (iv) none of above
Answer
(ii) Gears are used in tons of mechanical devices. They do several important jobs, but most importantly, they provide a gear reduction in motorized equipment. This is key because, often, a small motor spinning very fast can provide enough power for a device, but not enough torque. For instance, an electric screwdriver has a very large gear reduction because it needs lots of torque to turn screws, but the motor only produces a small amount of torque at a high speed. With a gear reduction, the output speed can be reduced while the torque is increased. Another thing gears do is adjust the direction of rotation. For instance, in the differential between the rear wheels of your car, the power is transmitted by a shaft that runs down the center of the car, and the differential has to turn that power 90 degrees to apply it to the wheels.
You are in an elevator which is moving upward at a constant velocity of 10 m/s. The floor pushes up against your feet with a force (A) equal to your weight. (B) equal to twice your weight. (C) less than your weight. (D) of zero.
Answer
(A) equal to your weight. You are in equilibrium and must feel zero total force.
What is the force on a 1kg ball that is falling freely due to the pull of gravity? (i) 10N
(ii) F = mg where m is the mass of the body and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s). Substituting the value we get, F = 9.8 N.
A copper sphere of radius 3cm is beaten and drawn into a wire of diameter 0.2cm. The length of wire is: (i) 9m (ii) 12m (iii) 18m (iv) 36m
Answer
A 750 kg car moving at 23m/s brakes to a stop. The brakes contain about 15 kg of iron that absorbs the energy. What is the increase in the temperature of the brakes? (i) 30.5 deg (ii) 45 deg (iii) 29.5deg (iv) 23.2deg
Answer
To find the retardation produced in the car due to the application of brakes, we use the third equation of motion, v-u=2as where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, s is the distance it covers before it comes to rest and a is the retardation. We get a=529/2s. Now force applied on the car to stop is F=ma=750 x529/2s. Thus the work done in stopping the car is W=F x d=750 x (529/2s) x s=198375J. This work done is used up in increasing the temperature of the brakes. It can be calculated by W = ms x T. The specific heat of iron is 448 J/kg deg C. Thus the increase in temperature of the brakes is 29.5 deg C.
Which compound with high melting point is called whitr amorphous solid? i) calcium oxide ii) calcium dioxide iii) carbon oxide iv) carbon monooxide
A fluid is rotating at constant angular velocity w about the central vertical axis of a cylindrical container. What is the variation of pressure in radial direction if p' is the density of the fluid? (i) p'wr (ii) p'wr (iii) p'r (iv) none of the above
Answer
(i) Centrifugal force on the rotating liquid F = mwr. Pressure P = F/area . Area = lateral area of the cylinder = 2 rl where r is the radius of the cylinder and l is the length of the cylinder. Also, mass of the liquid in the container = density x volume

employers are too specific to measure you all out potentials. The Army applies almost a general aptitude (intelligence) test called the AFQT to select recruits for different branches of the service. Scores form a normal distribution where the top 10% are classified as category I and the bottom 10% as Category V (those rejected for service). During World War II they had to dip into Category IV for 21% of recruits. In the Vietnam War, however, in 1979, 46% of new recruits were from Category IV . (Frum, 2000, p. 89)! However, a differential aptitude test measures all kinds of aptitudes separately. No doubt the test is scored both individually and collectively but individual scores are given much bigger weight. You may find commonalities between a general and differential aptitude test. But it is philosophy behind the latest genre which differentiates it from the others. Here if optimum description of different differential aptitude tests:

criticism in some other areas as well. 1- Various studies have suggested that the test is discriminatory to women. Female candidates score lower than the male candidates. The supporters of the Bennett mechanical test propose that the reason of this difference is not due to test but result of females lack of interest in mechanics. 2- Some other studies have observed that Bennett mechanical aptitude test is discriminatory to the minorities as well. However, the supporters of Bennett mechanical test claim that differing results are due to socio-economic, cultural and environmental differences. 3- The Bennett mechanical test does not measure your actual performance on mechanics. It is possible that you may perform better on actual machines than on a paper pencil test. Due to its heavy impact, some United States citizens have even gone to courts to get a ruling against Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test. The courts, after responding to the discriminatory nature of the test, have directed the employers either to make the test non-discriminatory or adopt some other balanced tool.

Certain careers are categorized with better spatial ability. Such works essentially require you to utilize your visualization, conceptions and imaginations in daily routine work. A few of such careers include: Natural Sciences All natural sciences require a certain degree of spatial capability to build theories and pass them through experiments. You are required to visualize complex structure of atoms and movement of its particles. You have to draw inference from the complex structure of cells to solve medical problems. You are required to express your imaginations either upon paper or in models. Math Related Jobs When you score better in spatial aptitude tests, you are likely to score in numerical aptitude tests. Though it is not always necessary that you use your numerical skills to solve spatial problems but in most of the cases it happens so. In fact same kind of thought stream works behind the both abilities. Thus spatial ability is equally important for careers in math, physics, accounting, auditing, economics etc. Engineering The spatial development is considered very important when you are looking for an engineering career. Understandably, you need to build designs in your mind before you can put those on paper even. If you are looking for a career of mechanical engineer, it becomes even more important. Architects Architects, like engineers have to use their spatial skills to build their models. Then they have to visualize a lot before they are satisfied with structure and design of their work. Computer Related Careers The computer technology is highly spatial in nature. It is not surprising that computers have been playing an important role in developing your spatial skills. When you are looking for a career in hardware or software industry, you need a certain degree of spatial capability. However, when you are looking for an online career, you simply need to know and love your subject. There is at least one company which guarantees your online success without any technical or spatial capabilities.
with shapes is tested in a number of ways: Most of the spatial aptitude tests contain two, three or multi dimensional shapes. You are required to reason with the given dimensions to reach to the right conclusion. Such tests are also called spatial reasoning tests. Spatial ability tests offer different sizes of shapes. You may identify forms from the patterns or vice versa, depending upon the sizes. The shapes may change their patterns with the change of sizes. Some problems may contain different planes with different shapes. The diagrams are rotated in the planes to see how much sharp your memory is. You may be offered 2-D or 3-D shapes to know their direction of rotation in the planes. Such tests are also called spatial memory tests. You may be required to visualize disintegration of a shape in parts and reassemble them at another place. You have to find out topographical relation between different shapes. You may be required to see objects from a different angle. You need to become part of the problems and reorient your position with other objects. Such tests are called spatial orientation tests. Measurement The spatial aptitude tests also measure your capability to measure length, width and volume of an object. You are required to measure diagrams as per given units of measurement. Depiction of Imagery Some spatial aptitude tests require you to depict your imagination in shapes and models for top level engineering, mechanical and science careers. You may also be required to describe shapes and models with your reasoning to reach a logical conclusion. Navigation Capability It is another sub factor of the spatial aptitude tests. Your perceptions of directions and positions are tested. You may be required to use an actual compass or directional model to read a map.
