Bro...this time paper shall be unconventional owing to the increased number of candidates opting the very subject.
For instance in case of intelligence ...what type of emotional intelligence a CSP should have.
Questions like this are more likely to come.
Any how the topics and especially the short notes you have highlighted are valuable and may be asked by the examiner.

You're right. But the thing is that one must not follow the exact material asked in the questions but the themes: after all examiners are bound to make questions from the provided syllabus. So even If they want to ask general questions, they will ask from the syllabus

Few basic points were kept in my mind while drawing these papers:
1. If any question from "perception" is asked, then in the same paper there will be no question from "emotion" for 20 marks. However, some part of "emotion" can be asked in the short notes
2. Psychodynamic and Psychosexual are the most important theories of Personality. There is no paper in the past 25 years, when the topic of personality was not covered in the question paper. Personality tests are evenly important, however, for the last two years, they are asked, so this time it is hugely expected that psychosexual theory will be asked
3. "Motivation" constitutes the backbone of basic psychology. For the last many years, this topic has been pivotal in the question paper for part I. Since for the last two years, this was neglected and asked only for short notes, this year it can be asked in a full length 20 marks question

One Question About the Trend of Asking General & Applied Questions in Psychology: How to deal with applied questions in science?

Always Remember Two Things:
1. Applied and general questions look way too easy than other questions based on facts that we can't have debate on. Most of us are driver towards them thinking them easy however keep in mind that we are not very smart to deal with applied questions in science subjects at CSS no matter how good you are. So, play it safe here.
2. Applied questions are asked only from the topics like "Attitude", "Socialization", "Crime Behavior", "Ethics in Psychology" and "Prejudice". Nobody will ask you any general question from "Schools of thoughts", "Learning", "Theories and Assessment of Personality" and "Emotions"

Please Note:
(An Example of Getting High and Low Marks in a 20 Marks Question)
Whenever you are asked about "Emotions", write in the context of the role and influence of neurotransmitters on the generation and arousal of emotions: whether they ask you or not. It is generally understood and expected by the examiners that you will write some scientific logic that backs the concept and mechanism of emotions. Theories come later. We focus more on the definitions and theories and less on the mechanism and that is the reason why most of us score less even when we think we have performed well. And those dejected people are mostly those who opted for psychology assuming that its easy, high scoring and because some one has told them to opt it. They just go through the syllabus, perform well (according to their expectations) but because they don't meet the expectations of the examiners, they fail to score good marks at CSS. So here's the important thing: you don't only have to meet your own expectations but also of the examiners

Good Luck!
