ASSESSMENT METHOD
It requires no psychological genius to assess qualities like communication
skills in English. The quality of language written is in front of the assessor!
Your vocabulary, spellings, grammar and expression are available for as-
sessment.
Reasoning ability is assessed based on the understanding and logic appar-
ent in understanding photos in TAT and situations in SRTs.
If a candidate leaves a large portion of the test unanswered it clearly shows:
• Low level of ‘speed of decision making’.
• Low level of mental stamina.
The psychologist will have reasons to assess his reasoning ability and his
time management in life to be of a low order.
Is there any value in understanding the as-
sessment method?
The above information is given just to explain that consistent patterns dis-
play the true personality of a candidate. It is not possible for candidates to
discern consistency in their responses to assess qualities. This job can be
done only by experts.
