Word Association Test

Word Association Test (WAT) is the Second test at Service Selection Boards in Psychologist series, by this test psychologist, reads the personality which a candidate possesses. In this test, you will be shown a word and you are required to form a meaningful sentence using that word. On seeing a word there might be different ideas in your mind related to that word, but you must write the first spontaneous reaction in your answer sheet. The Time limit is restricted to 15 Seconds so that candidate is not confused with subsequent thoughts and give his first thought only.

No. of Words – 60

Time of each Word – 15 Seconds

You are required to complete 60 words, each word will be shown for 15 Seconds, and within this 15 Seconds, you have to record your thought in answer sheet provided to you. As stated earlier, this time limit has been intentionally shortened so as to ensure that the candidate gives his first reaction which comes to his mind.

To make you understand this test in a much better way, let us take a word a knife now a person who sometimes uses a knife to cut vegetable, might write that Knife is used to cut vegetable. However, a surgeon also uses a knife in operation so he will write the sentence in his own way and if one ever got badly injured by knife then one might write that knife should be carefully used. So, by all these examples we want to tell you that how greatly a particular word can help Psychologist to know about your psychology and personality.
