Sir, how should we respond to the question of "tell us about yourself" in the interview? When we are in an interview for a job in any MNC or other such organization we are supposed to tell them how can we prove to be the best choice for them...but what about the response in FPSC's interview?
Moreover generally the autobiography should hv hobbies, strengths, what else?kindly shed light on this...

Include your positive points in the response. Some attributes are more desirable in civil service like ability to handle the pressure, patience, discipline, analytical skills, quick learning, team work etc. Before the interview, you will also have Psychological test where they will try to elicit all such information from you and thus the interview panel will have some glimpse of your personality traits even before start of the interview.

In Autobiography, you may include any thing which may portray a strong personality suitable for civil service. You should mention all things mentioned in my earlier post including your hobbies, strengths and interests.

Thanks for replying. I have another query.
They also ask about our weaknesses in the psychological proforma. What kind of weaknesses can we mention in that? For instance we cant write any thing that hurts our cause of getting the civil services..Can these weaknesses be such that are not work oriented or vice versa? Kindly give an example of any such weakness that we can mention. Moreover, command tasks have a rank and the given problem must be solved accordingly. Can it be tackled by usage of our Common sense only or do we have to have a general knowledge of the different ranks like the EDO, DPO etc? For a person like me who is clueless about such details, your reply would be a great help.

You are right. One should avoid mentioning any weakness which may create a negative image of oneself. Sometimes, a thing which may appear to be a weakness in your eyes may be a strength in other's eyes. Like I mentioned excessive socialization as my weakness. But I added that I am trying to bring a balance between private and social life. So if you mention any weakness, also try to add that you are getting upper hand upon that...

As far as the command task is concerned, you don't need to assign roles. I remember, it was explicitly mentioned on our task sheets that we don't need to assign any such role.
