These are the qualities expected the service selection board officials (SSB). Improve the skills with pure national spirit and proudly say "Yes, I have it in me"
In every Quality and traits and that too in behavioural pattern, SSB requires an outcome or result. Now the question arises what is the interpretation of the word 'Result or out come'.
The result oriented out come of the 15 OLQs (Officer Like Qualities) are they should be displayed by the candidates at least during testing hours. It would further mean that the assessors require an appreciable amount of or an acceptable or reasonable an optimum amount of SUCCESS.
Projection of OLQs which will amount to selection will further depend on three components:
1 - Being an aspirant of SSB, you must possess the 15 OLQs. but possession of the same is not enough.
2 - You (being an aspirants of the commissioned Cadre) must project in such a manner that assessors must be able to 'Notice Them', 'Rank them', 'Rate them', and at the same time Grade them.
3 - You must be capable enough to project them under the situational Tests/Tasks up to the satisfaction of assessors.
For possession, projection of OLQs and just to facilitate the assessors to 'Notice them', 'Rank them', 'Rate them', and at the same time 'Grade them', can be only made possible when your intellectual skill does have sound interplay with OLQs (Officer Like Qualities)
In the language/literature of the Service Selection Board your Behavioural Pattern Produces Officer Like Behaviour (OLBs). Finally these OLBs generate/produce Officer Like Qualities (OLQs) which create a balanced personality to meet or enter into the certain scale of parameter as required by the SSB.
The Reason for the less number of intake can be directly attributed to the unsuitability of the candidates who are not meeting the requirements. Most of them are in dire need of job taking Army being the choice of their last career. where as Army needs job doers not the job seekers-

Transformation of personality is your's responsibility, not some one else. You have 'Ganga Jal' (the water of pious river Ganga), it is up to you. You may wash the toilet or can use it to worship the Lord Shiva. Transformation requires self effort.

The Thematic Apperception test (TAT), Picture Perception and Description Test - SSB Interview

How to write TAT or PPDT Stories SSB consists of three techniques, Psyche, GTO and the Interview one. Tests differ but the technique is the same and the technique is looking for suitability. Means possession! Projection and rating, ranking and grading of OLQs of the optimum satisfaction of the “Assessors” I will show you one of picture and would like to make up a story on the picture. The story should be as dramatic and imaginative as possible. Tell me what is happening in this picture?, what led up to it? And what will the outcome be? Describe as fully as you can, the thoughts, feeling, action and emotions of the character but please do not describe the picture as you are required to write a story with the blank card. The subject is asked (Subject here, would mean the candidate) to imagine and write a story about it. To encourage the flow of the story, I will suggest you to bear these aspects in the mind and to act like this. What is happening? How is it happening?

SSB INTERVIEW - GOOD AND BAD HABITS

A very important question was asked by someone regarding a very important question of SSB. This question is asked in different formats but the answer which they 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? (actually they are your qualities) • Write 3 bad qualities of your friend or what is it that you don't like in your friend? • Which are the three qualities of yours that your friends like? (your good qualities) • 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, its a SWOT analysis of your self (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). If a person knows about him/her self he can handle any situation and has a better judgment power. The second purpose of these questions like

SSB Psychological test - Word association test (WAT)

Word association test or WAT is one of the famous tests of psychology. The main purpose of this test is to get a clear idea about a candidates thinking. You may be wondering how can they check our thinking ? well its quite simple actually. Humans think about something if they get some time, but if there is no time at all then we act on the very first thought that comes in our mind. What happens in this test is that you are shown a word on which you have to make a sentence. The problem is that you only have 15 seconds to think and write a sentence on that particular word. Words rage from 60. Most of the words are repeated in order to see if the candidate has the same mode of thinking or not, usually after 15 20 sentences candidate's mind begins to give up thinking and he/she starts writing whatever comes in mind in split of a second, he doesn't know what he has written in the test when it finishes , the test actually get the true thinking of the candidate on the paper.
