PPDT

THE PROCEDURE AND THE TECHNIQUES TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN PICTURE PERCEPTION AND DISCUSSION TEST (PPDT)

 

It comprises of two parts:

1. Written test – It is conducted in two parts. Both the parts have questions to be done in a limited time. These questions are nothing but to check your mental ability. It has verbal and non verbal questions.

2. PPDT – Picture Perception and Discussion Test

Firstly ,you will be shown a picture (blurred) .You are not able to see things clearly.  Write a story on whatever you have perceived.

You will be given a sheet in which there will be a square block in which you have to point out the characters as you see them the things you have to indicate about the characters –

a. Age

b. Sex

c. Mood

Then you have to write action of your story and then a story.

NOTE- Do not worry about the story, your English, grammar or other things in screening just write a story what ever comes to your mind first WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT HOW IT LOOKS because honestly no body even checks your story , what matters is how you narrate it when your turn comes!!

NARRATION –  They give you hardly 1 minute and you have to speak up you story.

The lifeline of your narration(screening) is as follow-

IN THE STORY SHOWN TO US I SAW …… CHARACTERS IN WHICH ……. ARE MALES N …… ARE FEMALES. THEIR AGE RANGES BETWEEN …. TO …. YEARS AND THEY ALL ARE IN POSITIVE MOOD.

ACTION OF MY STORY IS………

**remember to mention these five points in your narration –

1. Number of characters you saw in the picture

2. Age

3. Sex

4. Mood

5. Action of your story

Its about your perception, remember to mention above 3 or 4 things in your narration!!

Speak up loud and clear with full confidence as if you are the best speaker in that room.

Eye contact – Most important make eye contact with each and every candidate present.

Be expressive – You should be able to express yourself in an understanding fashion!!

DISCUSSION – Now after everybody has narrated their story There is a discussion on it and the group has to come to a conclusion.

Points which will make you different from others and also increase your chance of getting selected –

1. Your preparation for discussion starts from narration only-

If your story is far too different from what others have written just do not go bragging about your story only, support others.

Give others a chance to speak.
