Once the Word Association Test is
over, the invigilator will hand over you the booklet of Situation Reaction Test.
The following are some of the details:
·
SRT
consists of 60 different situations and space to write your responses
·
You
have to assume yourself as the “he” or “she” mentioned in the question and
write what will you do when you are in such a situation
·
Time
given for this test would be exactly 30 minutes
·
The
basic motive of the test is to put you under pressure and bring your real
personality out so that they can check whether you really possess Officer Like
Qualities or just fake it
1.1.
How to prepare for Situation
Reaction Test:
There are no shortcuts when it comes to Situation Reaction
Test. The test is so well designed that no matter what practice a person does,
he/she will only succeed in this test if and only if that person possesses
Officer Like Qualities naturally. So, developing Officer Like Qualities is the
best/only method to become successful. For doing this, go to the internet and
search about each of these qualities. Understand the meaning of each of these
qualities and analyze yourself to know whether you possess them. For this, take
some real-life incidents of yours and recollect your actions in the same. Then
analyze whether that action contradicts any of those OLQs. As long as it doesn’t,
you’re good. Otherwise, try to improve yourself in that particular area. If you
find this procedure difficult, you can ask someone like your family member or
your friends to help you do the same.
1.2.
Some generic tips to keep in mind
while attending SRT:
1.
Know about Officer Like Qualities (15 Officer Like Qualities are given in section 6). Try
not to contradict any of those qualities
2.
Keep your responses short. Remember that you’ve to write 60 responses in 30 minutes.
Hence keep the responses to 1 or a maximum of 2 sentences. It’s not always
necessary that you should complete all 60 in the given time. In fact, doing so
will give a negative impression that you are an extremely fast decision-maker,
which is also not good. But the more, the better.
3.
Don’t skip any situations. It’s ok if you don’t write all 60, but never skip
situations. For example, never write situation 33 and then situation 35,
skipping 34. This will give an impression that you are cowardly
running away from that situation.
4.
Understand that they are looking for the right fit
candidate and not the best-fit candidate. Hence know the difference between an ideal response and a good
response. You should try to give a good response, not an ideal one. Here’re few
examples:
·
Situation 1: He finds himself under the attack of a grizzly bear. He…
i.
Response 1: Fights the bear and kills it
ii.
Response 2: Finds the nearest tree and climbs it for safety. Climbs down
once the bear leaves
iii.
Response 3: Runs away fast to escape from the bear
·
Response 1 is
ideal. This response gives too much power to the human in attack which is
unrealistic.
·
Response 2 is good.
The writer thinks of the best possible and safe solution and executes it
quickly for safety
·
Response 3 is bad.
It shows panic and fear in the writer. It also shows that the writer cannot
take good decisions when he’s under pressure.
5.
Here’re some tips
for a good response:
·
Don’t be over
ambitious or foolishly brave
·
Don’t panic, be
courageous
·
Take responsibility
first in doing something. Don’t delegate responsibility to others unless there
is a need to do so
·
Help others when
they are in trouble
·
Don’t hesitate to
make a discussion to find a solution. Never argue or quarrel
·
Be wise. Make use
of available tools
·
Never assume
something bad is happening. For example, if the situation is “He’s hit by a
car”, don’t assume that “He is injured”, unless it’s told that he’s.
1.3.
