WORD ASSOCIATION TEST

In the test, a candidate associates himself/herself with words given in the test and conveys his/her personality (OLQ) accordingly. A word can be used as a noun, verb, adverb or adjective depending on a candidates convenience. One must take care to be positive even in case of negative words. Through every response, the psychologist judges the personality of a candidate. Candidates are shown 60 words on the screen one after the other. Each word is displayed for 15 seconds in which the response has to be given in form of a short sentence. During 15 seconds that a word is shown to the candidate, the candidate understands this word, creates a response, showing his/her personality and also writes it down in the form of a complete and grammatically correct sentence.

The sentence made should not use he/she frequently. Similarly, no names should be quoted. There is no need for using idioms/ proverbs/ quotations etc. or even Modals like ‘can’, ‘could’ etc. There is no need for using Imperative sentences even.
