Dear All,

The most important component of the viva voce is the psychologist's evaluation.This evaluation helps the panel decide the suitability or unsuitability for any particular group or service.

Some Pitfalls:

1. Candidates do not know about their strengths or weaknesses and write some general ones or perceived ones.

2. For every particular personality trait there are bound to be some particular weaknesses associated.Candidates generally borrow the strengths from others and leave corresponding weakness. For example analytical person has a weakness; of over confidence.Diplomatic type has a weakness of compromising.Initiative taker has a weakness; hastiness. (This is for sake of example,please do not write them in your profile. Weakness should be harmless and that which can be improved)

3. Candidates mention some contradictory information.(Because of manipulation of facts)

4. Don't fill the most part of weakness. e.g
Most disappointing event of my life was..................(no need to give answer.Just write none because most disappointing event never happened otherwise some may have committed suicide God Forbid)

5. Hiding information . Don't try to be over smart with the psychologist. Help them to find your true potential. But that does not mean that you start telling them things which they never asked for in the first place.


Will continue posting if more things come into my mind.
