PSYCHOMETRY GROUPING
I have grouped the psychometric questions numbering 150. as it is not possible for me to write each question I am indicating only the numbers. Its up to u to correspond to the questions

At the outset I would like to clearly state that this version has no guarantee to be the correct version. Actually some 30/150 questions fall in to many groups and the line differentiating them is very thin. I have tried my best to group them.

Talking about the groups- they are 11 in number. As I have mentioned- this is not the only correct version- but this can be one. So if u feel u can group them more finer u can subdivide them in to many more.

I would advise u strictly to go through the whole set of groups and define urselves- the key to psychometric test is to define who u are and then start looking in to deeply the questions.

Each group represents a character or personality- u will decide which of the following attributes u would like to include in ur personality.

GROUP 1 LEADERSHIP QUALITIES

2 3 28 39 53 73 103 128

read the following before proceeding

1. the last group is bigger and within the group itself a small subgrouping is done- the no. in the bracket is the parent question to which the no outside the bracket belongs to- hope u understand
2. strictly- this may not be 100 % right as many questions look very similar. So go thru and make alterations if u feel so.
3. in each groups there r 2 kinds of questions- if u say yes to some and no to others u will land up at the same definition. So its ur common sense to understand the affirmative and negative tones of each question and answer accordingly- u shld know when to answer no and yes for each question in the same group-
4. some groups itself are opposite to each other and can be grouped together- but I have separated them on the basis of finer inferences eg:- serious persons cant be easy going type. if u say no to any question on serious group question u will land as an easygoing personality and vice versa- so they can be put under a single group- but some finer points prevent from doing so
