NUMS PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST
There will be a Psychological Test of 50 MCQs which will be mandatory to pass. However, the merit will be based on Subject Based Question Paper. As it is not mentioned in the syllabus that on which lines the MCQs of Psychological test will be prepared, as soon as the model questions of Psychological Test are provided by NUMS officially, they will be uploaded on our website. For the time being, we are giving away some information regarding how personality of the person is assessed through the Psychological Test.
What is a Psychological Test?
Psychological tests are used to determine people's specific traits or behaviours that are associated with their individuality, and they might even be used to diagnose mental disorders. They may be used to measure one's mental processes or traits that influence their behaviours. These tests are developed through extensive research. A personality test is a psychological test that measures an individual's personality and often puts a label on it.
Traits of a personality assessed by Psychological Test
Psychological test is used to assess different traits of the personality of a candidate.
- Whether the person is empathetic or not.
- Whether the person is active and ready to work or lazy and procrastinator.
- The person has ability to accept challenges.
- Is the person thinker or practical in his approach.
- If the person has some kind of complex, inferiority or superiority.
- If the person is extrovert or introvert.
- If the person has any kind of insecurity.
- How mentally stable is the candidate.
- The ability of the candidate to speak language spontaneously in real life situations.
- How the person reacts in a specific situation. The reaction of the person speaks about his ability to handle any unforeseen circumstances.
- Aptitude of the candidate
- Ability of the person to lead the team
How to enhance the personality?
Humans are also capable of working on and thus enhancing their personalities through measures like becoming more self-aware and consciously working on changing unwanted behaviors. In addition to this, you must have a vision as to what it is that you want to become. Another thing that might help is if one starts to behave like the person they want to be instead of the person they are until their mind gets used to the new behaviors and internalizes them so that they truly become a part of that person. Here are some personality traits shared by successful leaders:
- Positive attitude
- Friendly language
- Attentiveness towards the speaker
- Maintenance of composure or avoidance of over reaction
- Patience
- Open mindedness
- Smiling while talking
- Restrain from giving away all the information
- Avoid procrastination
- Helping each other
- Learning from the failure
- Learning through the experience of others
- Praising others when needed
- Accept their flaws when pointed out by the trusted person
How to attempt the test?
There are also things that a person can do to make sure that the accuracy of psychological tests remains unaffected by factors that are irrelevant to the test. For example, one should make sure that they are in a calm setting and least stressed when they are attempting such a test. They should also read through each question in an unbiased manner instead of letting their social desirability bias affect the results. To remain as unbiased as possible, individuals should make sure that they do not have an aim, for example, with regards to the personality type that they wish to have.
