Primarily used in Psychological Tests conducted for entry into defense forces in India, the Word Association Test or WAT as it is popularly known as, is an excellent way to test the attitude of a person. The test is deceptively simple. All you have to do is to make a sentence using the word shown to you. There will be 60 words. For each word, the candidate is given 15 seconds. Yes, its 15 seconds!!! So, no time for any deliberations and second thoughts. You write what comes first into your mind. This is where the psychologist gains access to your real self.
The general rules for succeeding in this test are as follow.
1) Be positive.
2) Be a part of the solution.
3) Don't preach (don't use words like should, may, would etc...).
4) Avoid phrases.
5) Sentences in past tense only.
6) Don't refer yourself.
7) Turn negative to positive.
8) The sentences must reflect leadership, team-skills and other OLQs(Officer Like Qualities).
