Psychological tests conducted at SSB
It’s a well-known fact that to become an officer in
the Indian Armed Forces, one has to get recommended by the Services Selection
Board. SSB interview is a psychology-based test where the assessors judge the
suitability of a candidate.
After the candidates get screened in, the
psychological tests are conducted on the 2nd day of the SSB interview.
These tests are conducted to assess the sub-conscious and non-conscious state
of mind.
There are 4 tests under this category.
Thematic
Apperception Test (TAT)
Word
Association Test (WAT)
Situation
Reaction Test (SRT)
Self
Description (SD)
TAT:
In this test, Candidates are shown a slide, usually
hazy and black and white on a large screen for 30 seconds. In the next 4
minutes the candidates have to write a story based on that slide. The story was written should cover the following three aspects
What led
to the situation?
What is
currently, happening?
What will be the outcome of the situation?
After 4 minutes another slide containing a different scene
will be shown. This process is repeated 11 times. Finally the 12th the slide is a blank one. Here you have to write a story on a similar pattern
without any stimulus shown to you. One is free to write whatever comes to his
mind at that particular movement.
Due
to time constraints the candidates don't have much time to think about the
slide.
WAT
In this test, a random word is shown to the candidates. the candidates are
instructed to write the very first thought that comes to their mind about
that word.
The time given to write the sentence about that word is around 15 seconds. It is
not necessary that you have to write a sentence, the candidates have to
write the very first thought that comes to their mind. The candidates are shown
60 words in this test. It is a confirmatory test. the responses given in the
previous test are confirmed through this test.
SRT
In this test, the candidates are given a booklet that contains 60 uncertain,
unpredicted, and stressful situations for example “ 4 people come to loot you
what will you do?”. the candidates are asked to write their
responses to these situations. Candidates have to write the very first
thought that comes to their mind regarding that particular situation.
Again
this is also a confirmatory test. the responses given by the candidate in the
very first test are confirmed through this test.
