SSB Questions Asked From Your PIQ Form

The SSB Interview comprises a variety of tests intended to measure leadership qualities in candidates. Defence aspirants who pass the screening stage of the SSB Interview are given the PIQ or Personal Information Questionnaire. Its primary objective is to check for consistency between your performance and what you wrote. It also helps assessors in evaluating your entire background, including your academic achievement, involvement in extracurricular activities, and overall personality traits. Candidates must complete three copies of the same PIQ form, one for each assessor, which includes a Psychologist, an Interviewing Officer, and a GTO. Read on to know more about the importance of PIQ and the important questions asked about it during the SSB Interview.

 

Importance of PIQ during different stages of SSB Interview

 

• It facilitates assessors in forming a mental image of your casual attitude by examining at how you fill out the form and then comparing your responses to what you put in the TAT, WAT, SRT, and Self Description to see whether they are all authentic or if you are simply misrepresenting your personality.

• It also assists in determining candidates' orientations and team spirit. For example, if someone writes in his or her PIQ that they are supportive in nature and enjoy working in a team, but they are unable to contribute to group tasks and become irritated unreasonably, the assessor may catch an illustration of his or her personality traits.

• The most important thing you can do to prepare for the SSB Interview is to develop a type of self-introspection. When filling out your PIQ, make sure there are no discrepancies between what you write and what you actually do. As a result, the easiest thing to do is to fill out the form yourself, then continue asking questions about it, then assess your responses to come up with more counter questions.
