Rules and Method of Word Association Test Formation ~ Psychology Test in SSB Interview

Word Association Test-

This is a normal test, which the psychologist will conduct. The test includes exposing the students manually to 60 words, which are general in nature, with a suitable gap of 15 seconds to form the sentences. The test is designed to check the practical intelligence of the students. In this test, unlike TAT the stimulus is better defined than the picture, suitable written. If you recall, constructing of sentences is an old practice which we undergo in the primary level of schooling. The sentences framed should be comprehensive, complete using the word effectively. Students should include the word which has been shown by the assessor. In case of omission of the specific words, utilizing its meaning in constructing of sentence is advocated. Do not get involved in antonyms/ synonyms, which is not required in the testing.
Construction of sentences does not have any binding implications, and the sentences therefore should be framed logically and meaningful in nature. Do not tie down yourself by certain conditions and grammar; otherwise you will not be able to complete the sentences. Day to day visuals and experiences can be incorporated, idioms, phrases can be logically used and sermons and suggestion should be limited. Using high sounding English can be avoided. Remember, do not create a complex profile rather help the assessor and practical intelligence, keeping mind, whatever you do in service Selection Board should be true and suiting your personality rather than copying high profile students and landing you in stress related situations. Now-a-days majority of students apply for Armed Forces while working in call centers and BPO’s, whose English profile is much better but expression is poor grammatically. Language is the instrument to access and convey conveniently and constructively. The words and sentences have been framed to help the students in applying their mind successfully.

Essentials

In the test a series of words are shown to the candidate in tie sequence. After seeing the word the candidate is required to write a sentence using that word directly or indirectly but conveying the sense of the original word.
There are 60 words which are selected on the basis of each factor of OLQ contributing 15 words.

(1)    60 words ( +ve and –ve )
