SITUATION REACTION TEST

Situation Reaction Test:

This is the third test under the psychologist technique of assessment.It follows the Word Association Test.
This is a test of common sense and candidate's intelligence This test is nothing but only they want to know our reactions in different situation.The situation  given are very common and consists of different situation which we encounter in our daily life.What they expect from the candidate is being practical and spontaneous.The candidate should win over every situation in practical and normal way. They don't expect the candidate to behave like a superhero and solve the problem.Now comes the outcome of this test.Here again the same officer's like qualities are taken out from the candidates and the result is mapped with the result of WAT and TAT and also with the information provided in the PIQ. Again the report developed is forwarded to the interviewing officer who cross check the result.

Rules Of The Game:

This test is conducted in a big auditorium  where candidates are given a question booklet and an answer sheet with numberings from 1 to 60. Against each number 2 or 3 lines are provided to write the responses. The question booklet consist of 60 situation in form of questions.The candidate has give the reaction of the situation as per the space provided in the answer sheet against the correct serial number.The time given to the candidates to complete the test is 30 minutes. This means that the time given per situation is 30 seconds.
Once the test is started candidates are not allowed to ask any doubt.


Tips For Situation Reaction Test:

  • Be truthful,practical and spontaneous
  • Don't behave extraordinarily  which u will not do when you will be in same situation.
  • Feel as if you are facing the same situation.
  • Be short and exact in your responses as the time allotted is very less.
  • Your handwriting should be fair.
  • Never try to escape from the situation and also don't try to change the situation.
  • Show your true qualities.
  • Use telegraphic key words to answer the sentence as this saves time.
  • Don't lose in any situation , the candidate should not lose in any situation, so write logic response in which candidate should win in every situation.
  • Some situations may be repeated i.e. the meaning of the question is same but the way asked is vary.  So be constant in your thoughts and responses.
  • Don't show cowardliness or fear.  Be positive in your reaction.  
  • Don't lose in any situation , the candidate should not lose in any situation, so write logic response in which candidate should win in every situation.

NOTE: SRT is nat a test of your ability to write but is a test to measure your ability to think ,observe and  react in a given situation.So to make you spontaneous and fair the time is kept small and they intentionally try to impose pressure on you to solve as much as possible.But the fact is that they also know that it is almost impossible for a fair person to read  the situation and write its response in just 30 sec. So in this test only quality matters not the quantity.The candidate should try to give quality answers.
