Frequently Asked Questions

Clarifications regarding testing centers, call-up schedules, and selection procedures.

Q1. What is the full schedule of the 5-day ISSB testing cycle? +

The ISSB assessment runs across 5 days: Day 1: Arrival, document verification, biometric allotment of chest numbers, opening briefing, and preliminary intelligence/screening tests. Day 2: Psychological Testing (WAT, Sentence Completion, TAT Picture Stories, Situation Reaction Test, Bio-Data Self Description). Day 3: GTO Tasks Part 1 (Group Discussion, Group Planning Exercise, Progressive Group Task, Half Group Task). Day 4: GTO Tasks Part 2 (Individual Obstacles, Command Task, Final Group Task) and Deputy President / Interview sessions. Day 5: Conference, Final Board Evaluation, and Departure.

Q2. Where are the ISSB Selection Centers located in Pakistan? +

There are four primary ISSB testing centers across Pakistan: ISSB Kohat (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), ISSB Gujranwala (Punjab), ISSB Rawalpindi (Army/Inter-Services), and ISSB Malir Cantt (Karachi, Sindh). Candidates receive a call-up letter specifying their assigned center.

Q3. What happens during the Day-1 Intelligence Screening Test (OIR)? +

The Day-1 test is conducted on computerized terminals and comprises two modules: Verbal Intelligence (usually 80-90 questions in 30-35 minutes) and Non-Verbal Intelligence (around 50-60 visual pattern questions in 25-30 minutes). Passing this test is required to proceed smoothly through the subsequent battery of tests.

Q4. How should I approach the Word Association Test (WAT)? +

In WAT, candidates view 100 words flashed sequentially for 10 seconds each on a screen. You must write the first natural, constructive, and meaningful sentence that comes to your mind. Focus on positive action, responsibility, teamwork, courage, and realism. Avoid pre-memorized artificial clichés or passive definitions.

Q5. What do psychologists look for in Picture Stories (TAT)? +

Thematic Apperception Tests measure Officer Like Qualities (OLQs) including initiative, empathy, emotional stability, problem-solving, and social responsibility. Your hero/protagonist should identify a realistic challenge, take constructive and ethical action with a team, and bring the situation to a productive outcome.
