5 Powerful Tips to Pass the Neuro-Psychiatric Exam

Know-How to Follow the Instructions

For every examination, it is necessary to follow the instructions. Failure to obey the instructions may
generate negative results. Meaning, if you’re not following the instructions, it emphasized that you don’t
know how to comply with the directions from your superior. Knowing how to obey a command makes you a
good example to the community or the institution you are serving.

Be True with your Answers

Remember, it is better to be true whatever answers you are going to put in. Be accurate to your answers as
it reflects your personality, how you are going to evaluate things, happenings, incidents, and other forms
related to your work. Inconsistency of the answers may lead to untruthful facts.

Draw the Right Thing

From the book of Synopsis of Psychiatry Sixth Edition, the “Draw-a-Person test was initially used as a
measure of intelligence in children, correlated with intelligence and developmental level. It has become
more useful as an adult test.”
Police applicants instructed to draw a picture of a person. When I say “Draw the Right Thing,” meaning if
you are instructed to draw a female, you must draw the correct figure of a female person.
A female must have long hair, or short hair, wearing the proper clothes a normal girl is wearing.
Draw a normal person with two ears, hands, legs, five fingers, and so forth.
The clinicians do an interrogation process asking about your drawings.
It is a screening technique to analyze the viewpoint of the person towards another and to the environment.
So, be careful because everything being drawn has a definite meaning to the psychologist.

Sharpen your English Skills

Oftentimes, the tests may comprise essay exercises. The objective is to assess your expertise in creating
an incident report. Better to hone your speaking and writing skills.

Be Ready for the Interview

The last part of the exam is a personal interview with the Psychologist, which was conducted to see how
you behave under pressure

Answer the questions confidently and precisely with a determination that you can converse fluently. Avoid
making gestures when talking and be humble always.

Final Word:
The neuro-psychiatric examination is an assessment of your personality on how you deal with people and
the environment. Be genuine and consistent with every answer you provided.
Remember to be humble – don’t be pretentious as well.

Moreover, don’t leave unanswered questions, it might produce a negative effect, on your personality either,
you are fit or unfit for the job.

The test might be difficult, but you can win it with perseverance, focus, and the right knowledge.
