Just to make you transparent, I am quoting some instructions given or addressed by the
Scientists/Psychologists of the various boards to the candidates before the commencement of the
Situation Reaction Test.
1. Scientist SSB Bangalore 3 Dec. You are to answer these situations in full sentences, not in
1990 one or two words, otherwise we won’t be able to judge
your personality. Answer these situations by imagining
that you are facing in reality. How you will deal these
situations, if they confront you. Completing all the
situations are not necessary because this test is so
designed, that if a candidate does an appropriate disposal
he won’t complete all of them. Out of ‘60’ SRT’s, your
personality will comeout within 40 to 45 SRT’s.
