iv been avoiding pprune for about 2weeks now but thought its about time i faced reality and how i never got in to ATC. passed stage one but failed on the personallity questionaire. i actually found that more difficult than the aptitude tests and so on. these questionnaires are proven to be an accurate way of testing down to facts and figures and therefore, i cannot argue with it
obviously, peoples brains work in different ways. the aptitude exams test your ability to learn things and how well u can remember them and people who r good at maths and sciency subjects tend to excel at these. the personality questionnaire on the other hand is an accurate way of simply testing your brain and i believe people who are better at english and more creative subjects would be in their comfort zone on a test like this.
unfortunatley, i am crap at these kind of tests but i believe if my brain cannot do it naturally (when i say 'do it' i mean put my personality on paper) im going to have to suss it out and learn to do it
easier said that done! i just found it sooo difficult to choose the statements, i tried being honest but found myself saying 'hmmm i like that, but i like that too, oh and i like that, ohh iv not told them i like doing that' or got to questions where i didnt have the slightest clue what i liked best!!
i was wondering if anyone had any advice about the test and what i could do to somehow improve my ability for it?!
sorry for the length of this post, i just remembered when i was sitting my aptitude tests there were quite a few people on this forum who were raging about failing it and couldnt figure it out. usually tended to be people who failed found it unfair and inaccurate and the ones that passed seemed to find it fair, hmmmm
trying to not get disheartened by it and put on a brave face by saying i will figure it out for next year but am really gutted about it
hope someone can share some light on this,
claire
