HALF GROUP TASK (HGT)

After the break you will participate in the Half Group Task. This task is similar to the PGT except that it is conducted over one obstacle with smaller group. The HGT can be considered as the most important task of GTO Outdoor tasks. After the GD and PGT, some of the candidates might have assumed the role of a leader and some of the candidates may not have been able to express themselves or put forth their views because of the presence of brilliant candidates in his group. After the PGT and GD, the GTO might have formed an assessment about each candidate and he observes every candidate minutely in HGT to conclude or to change his former assessment.

As the number of candidates is reduced to half, GTO can minutely observe the leadership qualities of every candidate. Also in HGT, every candidate has a wider opportunity to show his various character traits and leadership qualities if in case he failed to do so in PGT. So you must give importance to HGT as this test will mark your leadership qualities. After the HGT, the GTO will form a clear cut assessment about every candidate and he assesses the candidates further in the following tests to confirm his earlier findings.
