Like what I’ve said earlier, the Aptitude or what we call the IQ test is composed
of 35 questions. You have to answer all these questions in only 15 minutes.
That means you only have two minutes to answer each item. The proctors are
strict regarding the time limit so never think that they will give you time
extension. The trick is to answer the easy questions first then go back to
difficult items in case you still have time. This way, you can maximize the time
and increase your chances of completing the test.
When I say learn how to draw, it does not mean you have to be like
Michaelangelo or Da Vinci. If you are told to draw people, do not draw stick
figures. Draw people with complete parts like ears, eyes, hairs, fingers, and the
likes. Draw them with happy faces. Make evident distinctions between male and
female e.g., mustache for male and long hair for female. After that, you
describe each drawing or make a story of it in 4-5 sentences. Some of the
concepts included here are tricky, and everything being drawn could mean
something to the psychologists, therefore, be careful.
The final part of the exam is the one-on-one interview with a psychologist to
assess how you will present yourself under pressure. Answer all the question
with wit, consistency, and fluency. Do not make unnecessary body and hand
movements or gestures during the interview. Be snappy and stand firm when
talking. Lastly, always be humble.
To wrap it up
The neuro-psychiatric test wants to know if you have a mindset of an average
person. Do not pretend that you are an extraordinary one and just be yourself.
Be consistent on your answers, bring out the good in yourself and do not show
any violence in your words. Lastly, never leave anything unanswered. Those
unanswered questions might determine the result of the neuro-psych either you
are RECOMMENDED or NOT RECOMMENDED. Good luck and may the odds be in
your favor.
