candidates are given 30 minutes for each test. Based on the score of the candidate,

OIR (OVER ALL INTELIGENCE RATING ) grading from 1 to 5 (with 1 being the

highest and 5 the lowest) is given to each candidate.

(b) PP &DT . It is a simple test of observation and perception in which a

picture depicting certain situations is shown to the candidates. The picture is shown

for 30 seconds and thereafter the candidate gets 1 minute to record the following :-

thoughts, feelings and actions of the characters have to be mentioned. The story

should cover the following :-

their observations and arrive at a consensus as to :-
