Issb Psychological Tests - Compress
A question has been asked regarding psychology test as how can we prepare for it
? What is it that they ask and what kind of answers they want?
The game of psychology is played everywhere, be it US Army, British Army, Indian
Army or Pakistani Army. Be it ISSB or CSS, psychology tests are conducted to se
e if the candidate is suited for the job, whether he is capable to handle the jo
b, whether he is mature and responsible enough or not.
To analyze this series of questions are asked and tests are conducted. Amazingly
these questions no matter how well you prepare cant be deceived. They will get
what psychologists need and they will provide an XRAY of your entire history, pe
rsonality and life.
But there are ways by which you can dodge the tests and get the desired results.
What is required is that you practice these tests, get them in synchronization,
meaning that if you answer a question in one test you should answer yes to the s
ame type of question in another test. Psychologists analyze you by seeing exactl
y this whether you are lying or not by comparing the answers of different questi
ons.
Here is a short summery of things to do to prepare for psychology tests.
1. Get to know about the kind of tests ( Ill give detail about it in another pos
t).
2. Get to know about the kind of questions in each test.
3. Don t cram the answers but develop a story about your self, hiding the few ugly
parts which you don t want to show in ISSB.
4. Make answers from that story so that they support each other.
Psychology test is the most important as psychologist gives his recommendation b
ased on the tests. Meaning its one third of your ISSB relies on it.
Good And Bad Habbits
A very important question was asked by someone regarding a very important questi
on of ISSB. This question is asked in different formats but the answer which the
y are looking for is related to your personality...
Questions are:
· Write 3 good and bad qualities of yourself?
· Write 3 good qualities of your friend or what do you like about your friend? (ac
tually they are your qualities)
· Write 3 bad qualities of your friend or what is it that you don't like in your f
riend?
· Which are the three qualities of yours that your friends like? (your good qualit
ies)
· Which are the three qualities of yours that your enemies like? ( your weaknesses
)
What is the purpose of these questions?
The first purpose is to see if you know about your own self or not, it's a SWOT
analysis of your self (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). If a perso
n knows about him/her self he can handle any situation and has a better judgment
power.
The second purpose of these questions like almost all of the questions at ISSB i
s to see if you are telling the truth or lies.
Since this is a PET question in ISSB its better to prepare it first. Like always
, here again ill tell you to think about your self and try to come up with your
answers. Because if you write your real weaknesses(bad habits) and good traits t
hen you would be able to answer exactly the same else where if asked.
Here is what you have to think before answering these important questions...
· Don't Lie 100% . 20 or 30% is allowed :-) (write your good things which are in y
ou and bad which are)
· Note if you are writing a bad habit it shouldn't be that bad which would make a
negative impact on selectors e.g. "I lie, I cheat" etc.
· Don't try to be too positive which would clearly show you are lying, e.g. "i am
very honest, i never lie" etc. (everyone lies its human nature)
· If you are very creative try to portray you negatives in a way as if they appear
to be positive...e.g. "Sometimes in order to keep up with my study schedule i c
ut my time which i plan to spend with my family" (This is an example....DO NOT C
OPY....)
