A part of your question has already been answered. There wouldn't be any Interview panel, because the purpose of interview by psychologists... is to verify your personality, that you described through the assessment tests. it is impossible to assess and then interview a large number of candidates in just a single day. So I don't think that it is the time to follow formal dress code at this stage, However, one should be dressed properly (type of semi-formal too), even if it is not a special event... and could help you in case of unexpected occurrence.

Since most of us members of the forum are unaware or have very little knowledge regarding all that is mentioned by Wazira brother above in his comments. Could you or any other senior shed some light and please give us the clear picture (especially for those who are shortlisted for next phase). Rest ALLAH knows the best!!!

Regards

But yes, Jis nay kaam nahi karna, woh chahay fauji afsar ho ya civil inductee, senior ragra to day ga!

Hope you got the point.

It's really an honour to serve, forget the rumours and join in, if you get a chance!

At this very moment, we all are well aware of the fact that MoD enjoys the element of surprise, yet we will look over the last year’s pattern to have an idea over the subject.

Psychometric is more or less like psychological Test of CSS or ISSB. Basic contents of psychometric testing are...

IQ test

Non Verbal: 50
Verbal 50
Total allotted time: 30 minutes

REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy)

It is like filling the blanks.
E.g: I like….., I love…. , Sometimes…
Around 30 in English and 30 in Urdu

MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory)

MCQ type questions.
E.g.: I like crime stories
A. Strongly agree B. Agree C. Neutral D. Disagree E. Strongly disagree.

TAT (Thematic Apperception Test)

Traditional picture story writing. Candidates will be required to write 3 stories and 5 minutes for each story.

Associated words

A specific word will be displayed for 10 seconds and candidates will have to write sentence on the word. After 10 seconds, next word will appear.
Total words: 30

Your strengths, weaknesses etc. etc.

Note 1: There is no right or wrong answer to the questions. It is purely personality assessment test and yet one of the difficult to clear. The authorities are not interested in knowing our traits but they are searching for the required and we don’t know that what they are looking for.

Note 2: Psychological stage is very important because many of candidates will be filtered out at this stage. It is advised to prepare yourself on scientific lines.

Note 3: I cannot prepare any candidate via forum, so it is advised to consult ISSB books for preparations.

Note 4: Be positive, you will have not the time to think so start working on your psychological profile and don't try to lie... because this multi dimensional test is designed to point out any lies.

Wish all of the candidates in their endeavours. May ALLAH bless us with success. Ameen

P.S: I usually observe the forum activities silently. Most of the people don’t bother to read the thread, but energetically ready to put in the Question that was answered previously. Almost every qualifier possesses something unique, so please don’t tarnish the image of MoD/NTS by asking useless questions. I will answer only the legitimate queries of the aspirants, If any...
Thank you.

Regards

I have been selected to report for Psychometric test on Sunday 24th at 8 am however, I am in Saudia Arabia for Umrah. I will return on 24th January at 2 pm Pakistan Time.

I am told that the date would not be adjusted for the test. However, I am thinking that I should just go to the test center directly from Airport and hope that they let me in.

Is there any other way to communicate and solve this problem with NTS or MOD. Please guide.

I dont want to miss out on this great opportunity

Desk Job is relatively less demanding, but equally important.
Both are good, depends on you aptitude. I have seen few desk job guys volunteering for a Field mission and completing successfully!
Good luck!
