What is wrong in not maintaining the order of the questions :—
Interpreting the above, I can say that every human functionalism leaves human errors. Even
in some cases, the I.O. himself may not remember the order of questions but he may pose like this :—
Saurabh have you missed some of the questions ? or Saurabh :—Have you maintained the sequence ?
Answer :—It solely depends on you, your behavioural pattern the way I.O. is carrying forward the
interview or you are moulding the interview. During the interview you will come to know about the
trend of the interview and acceptability of the I.O. or the impression you are leaving on him. Therefore,
even a lot of guidance from me will go into waste, if you are not honest/frank and true to him. Now the
best remedy is consider I.O. as friend not the foe. The second remedy is to understand the I.O.
technique. The I.O. technique is not an interview but it is a personalised conversation. This is the only
system where, one is being interviewed by one. Nothing unknown is asked. Do not get confused with
the word interview; He is conversing with you not interviewing. I will example as hereunder :—
President :—Saurabh, are you from Lucknow ?
Candidate :—Yes sir,
President :—Saurabh, please tell me about your family, right from your father, his qualification,
routine, monthly income, good & bad habits, like & dislikes, occasions on which he gets annoyed,
about your mother, her qualification, interest, routine issues on which she becomes happy and annoyed;
good & bad habits, about your siblings, their education, how you adjust, so far what they have done till
now, what they would like to become and finally on what matters you all agree & disagree and how you
resolve ?
How to answer, if your routine is haphazard :—
Interpretation :—Please tell me; is he not asking about your family ? Are you not familiar with them since
your birth ? Another set of questions will be about your routine, schooling, teachers, your academics, your
friends, neighbours, relatives, your adjustment and judgment, your participation in games/sports, extra and co-
curricular activities, your good and bad points, subject/teachers you like and dislike, your surroundings and
happenings and finally how you organise and face the situation of duress and odds. Meantime or at the last he
will ask that Sourabh :—Do you read newspaper ? On your consent of ‘yes’ he may ask the question pertaining
to current affairs. At the time of packing up the conversation he will extend a privilege, Saurabh :—I have
asked you so many questions, have you got to ask any question ? These aforesaid question are known to you and
you are the only person who is familiar and personalised with the questions, therefore, it is not an ‘Interview’
but it is a ‘Pesonalised’ conversation.
You can’t prevent the accident but you can prevent the incident. We are all born with our
respective limitations, our inadequacies often derail our thought process. That in turn undermines our
potential and dampens our mental faculties, which otherwise abound despite our limitations. Quite
often, most human beings direct all their vital energies to unproductive ends. A considerable amount of
energy is wasted attending to unfounded fears—fear of the future, fear of failures, fear of reoccurrence
of past unpleasantness, fear of suffering and so on. The unnecessary brooding contemplation, worry and
stress that follows further and consumes our limited energies. So; at the end of the day, we are left with
very little energy for the creative application, therefore our productivity is minimum with expectation
level still remaining high. Therefore, if your routine is haphazard then nothing is wrong. I.O. is always
kind to remain or place himself at your disposal to excuse or remit your mishaps provided you remain
with him with your truthfulness & honesty and guts to confess the incidents as they happened. I will
example as below :—
(1) Sir, I got freedom after joining the intermediate, loosing control of my parents and during study
hours I started watching movies, roaming here and there. Further, I developed my interest in gossiping
with peer group. My involvement wasted golden period of my graduation which led to a bunch of
comments from the parents, friends, relatives. I got myself realised diagnosing the pros-cons and have
made a mark in my post graduation. Sir, this is how I have upgraded myself which has made me
positive and result-oriented.
Remedies for Defence Mechanism, Impression management, Intellectualism, rationalisation,
fabricated, mugged up and cooked answers :—This above aberration leads to bouncing in 60 to 80%
cases as it does not allow you to project the transparent personality, we are interested in the right kind
of personality. Neither SSB is a competition nor it is the test of your performances. These tests are
