Candidates generally act or told to act or indicate/follow positivity/instead of negativity. The
doctrine of natural reaction is to accept negativity, if the situation depicts and presently in the newly
inducted screening system positivity is rarely portrayed. Now the natural reaction of the candidate
should be to accept and mark the negative mood and reaction in the given space and the action being
drawn by the hero / actor should be so effective, organised and resourceful so he could switch over
towards the success through his dynamic and leadership qualities.

All about Picture Perception & Description or Discussion Test
The picture perception & Description Test (PP&DT), the third and most important test in mini
SSB, has come to stay as a major tool for distinguishing between deserving and non-deserving aspirants
for the further steps of selection for commissioning in the armed forces.
The Defence Institute of Psychological Research (DIPR) earlier known as DPR (Defence
Psychological Research), has to play a major role to ensure that the tests are updated and modernised to
meet the advancement in the thought process of the present generation. The DIPR holds the All India
Standardisation Conference for the selection of officer in the Armed forces annually at one of the three
selection centres namely. S.S.B. South Bangalore, S.S.B. Central Bhopal and S.S.B. East Allahabad for
Army.
IF YOU SOW A THOUGHT. YOU REAP A CHARACTER. IF YOU SOW A
CHARACTER, YOU REAP A HABIT. IF YOU SOW A HABIT YOU REAP A DESTINY,
WHATEVER HUMAN MIND CAN CONCEIVE, IT CAN BE ACHIEVED.
