Before writing and taking you to an actual SRT question, i will first write 3 points which candidates have to focus while answering.
(To understand all the points read the complete article.)
1) Handle the situation completely rather than giving an incomplete solution.
2) Don't make the things complex by assuming other problems coming with that situation or will follow up with the solution you are giving.
3) Focus on quality rather than quanitity. It doesn't matter if you have answered all the 60 questions in 60 minutes. If in your answers the above 2 points are missing then all your hardwork will goes in vain.
Lets assume a common SRT questions which generally asked in SSB.
Question: What will you do if you are seating in a movie theatre and someone shouted presence of snake?
Now, let's talk about the way candidates are answering this question.( The way we answer basically tells about our psychology too apart from our action of dealing with that situtaion)
Worst Answer
Answer 1: He will run to the theatre managment team as fast as he can and will inform them .
Psychology here: You thought that how can anyone stay calm in this situation. Afterall its a snake. Situation is already worse. Lets not make it more worst and inform the authority.
Action: You run away leaving behind the other people who don't know how to deal with that situation and might they start shouting, running and creating more panic among other people which leads to worse situation.
You are also relying on other people to get the problem solved.
Both the above mentioned points are missing here.
Average Answer
Answer 2: He will ask everone to stay calm until the snake moves away.
Psychology here: You are not overthinking that how anyone can stay calm in this situation. You are positive here that everyone will follow what you said.
Action: You are not leaving the situation and also making sure that everyone is safe in that particular situation.
Here we are covering the first point BUT we are not covering the second point. Now read the best answer to understand why the above 2 answers are incomplete.
Best Answer
Answer 3: Ask people to stay calm, confirm the presence of snake, kill/catch the snake.
Psychology here: We are strong, positive and believe in action part rather than just letting the problem go away.
Action here: You are taking incharge of the whole situation, confirming the problem and then solving it so that no one else will face the problem with the same snake .
I hope you can probably see the difference between the 3rd answer and the first 2 answers.
We are covering both the points. We are not assuming other problems and making the thing complex.
Also we are completely handling the situation rather then just letting it go away.
60 Questions are asked in SRT. You have to answer each question in the same way i have answered above.
You can't memorise 60 WAT or TAT or 60 SRT. It's not possible. 15 seconds time is given in WAT. Do you think thats its possible that you will write a memorised answers?? No, it's not. You will definitly give your natural response atleast in 40 questions if not in all 60 questions.
And the psychologist officer is smart and experienced enough to separate those answers from your "IDEAL" answers.
So, work on your natural response. Make it better and effective. This is what we are here for. We will not coach you but we will assess your natural responses and work on it to make it effective.
