SSB INTERVIEW - Important of making friends at SSB Centre

MY Dear SSB Aspirants, 

One of the most important things you have to do at SSB is to make friends. You have to start making friends right from the moment when you enter the SSB Centre. The question might come in your mind, why make friends with these guys who are there to get selected? They are my competitors. Why would I be friends with them? Or other thoughts might arise like “Nahi he seems like a pendu”, “oh no he is from another city, I’ll make friends with guys who are from my own city”. Or “4-5 din ki to baat he, fir in se to kabhi milna hi nahi hoga, fir dost bnane ka kiya fayda?”
Well the answer to all these questions fall in two categories. One is that it’s perhaps the first and only chance where you get to make friends from different parts of the country. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a friend from Jalandhar, another from Shimla, one from Kurukshetra and another from Nanital, perhaps someone from Allahabad, Madras, Delhi or J&K. You will realize in the later stage that these friendships last quite long and are quite beneficial.
The second category is of strategic alliances. Now what does that mean? It means that you have to make friends for your own good. Just think, you are at a new place where there are 60 or 100 guys, all strangers. For most of them this is the first time they are out of their city, in fact for some of them it’s the first time they are not going to spend night at their home. They might look OK but inside everyone is a little bit scared, the same kinds of feeling which you get on the first day at school. Everyone would be shy, not talking to one another. At that time if you break the “Glass ceiling” that can do wonders. If you start gap shap with others, like asking them where are they from, how did they reach SSB, where did they study and SBB preparation, it would make them feel that you are a nice guy and a friend. They would naturally be tilted towards you and you would feel that you are not in a strange place anymore.
What is most important in these friendship ties is that if these friends you make are also in your GTO task and GDs and GOR, they can help you a lot. Those who lack confidence and who are scared would take you as your leader and your friend in time of need, giving you confidence and opportunity to look good before GTO. GTO looks at the fact that who is shining in the group, who is the one everyone looks up to as the reliable one, the one who is blue eyed boy of the rest of the group.
During the interview, and when GTO tasks end, all the members of the group are asked to rate their fellows. Now if others are your friends and take you as their savior, there are chances that they will rate you No.1. If that rating is supported by your performance in tasks and other tests of GTO, it’s very likely that you got the GTO’s vote of recommendation. The MOST IMPORTANT vote of all.

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.

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?

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.
