What is a Picture Perception and Description Test?
The PP&DT (Picture Perception and Discussion Test) is one of the psychological tests conducted during the five-day SSB Interview Process.
The purpose of the PP&DT is to assess a candidate's ability to analyze a given picture and form a story around it. PP&DT Test aims to analyze candidates’ analytical thinking, decision-making ability, optimum use of resources, and thought process. In the picture perception test, candidates are given 30 seconds to observe the story and 1 minute to highlight the number of characters, their mood, age, and sex. Candidates are given 4 minutes to write down the title of the story and the PP&DT Story. After writing the stories, candidates are divided into groups of 14-16 candidates for discussion and narration. During narration and discussion, candidates sit in a semi-circle manner and narrate their stories one by one. After the narration, a group discussion takes place. The purpose of group discussion is to arrive at a final story not just to discuss the story.
