The ADF psychological testing process includes:  \n• A General Ability Test; and  \n• A Mathematical Ability Test.  \nDepending on the role applied for, you may also be required to sit additional testing, such as;:  \n• Testing for Officer entry;  \n• Testing for Pilot, Observer or ACO;  \n• Testing for Air Traffic Control; and  \n• Testing for Other Specialist Occupations.  \nThis guide will provide you with an idea of what to expect during psychological testing, and hints and tips to help prepare you for this testing.  \nWhat is psychological testing?  \nThe aim of psychological testing is to determine what skills and abilities candidates have and then to match the ADF jobs that require these same sets of skills and abilities.  \nThe psychological testing process  \nDuring the psychological testing sessions you will be asked to answer a series of questions within a restricted period of time. You should attempt to get as many questions correct as possible in the time allowed. All tests include questions that range from the relatively straightforward to others that are quite difficult.  \nPsychological testing can be administered either by computer, or in paper-and-pencil format. We hope that most applicants will feel comfortable completing the computer-based versions of the tests. However, if you are not comfortable using computers , and would prefer to complete the paper-andpencil tests instead, you will be permitted to do so.  \nInstructions will either be read to you before you begin each test, or included as an introduction where testing is done on a computer. Listen carefully to the instructions, and feel free to ask the test room supervisor questions if you are not sure what to do. Ensure that you read the question carefully and understand what you are being asked to do. You must give only one answer per question, except where specifically told otherwise.  \nWhat can you take into the room?  \nYou will be able take your personal belongings into the room. However, you must turn off all electronic equipment, including your mobile phone. You are not allowed the use of a calculator or a dictionary of any variety during any of the psychological tests. You are not permitted to use any material that may aid or advantage you when completing the tests, and if you are found using these, your test scores will not be deemed valid.  \nDuring the test session you will be provided with pencils, an eraser, and writing paper. Please remember to bring your reading glasses on the day to assist you in reading the computer screen or printed test material.  \nPreparing you for Testing  \nBelow are some ideas that may help you prepare for psychological tests.  \nPreparation Resources  \nYou may find attempting practice questions to be useful. This guide has some practice questions in Appendix A. In addition to the questions provided in this guide, practice tests containing test items similar to those used by the ADF can be obtained from bookstores, your local library, and online from test publishers.  \nPreparation Tips  \nThe following are a few tips to help you prepare:  \n• If you find you are having trouble with particular types of practice items (e.g. maths, language), you may wish to seek assistance from friends, tutors, or books;  \n• Do not attempt to prepare in one big session the night before you are due to undergo testing. Try to space your study periods out ([e.g. an](e.g. an) hour a day); and  \n• While preparing don’t simply read over information, practice recalling and using it. Attempt to test yourself on how much you have learnt wherever possible. This may also help you identify areas in which you need further practice.  \n• On the day of testing you should plan to arrive at the Defence Recruiting testing area well rested, in go","cbCaieBQoQVfnShm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieBQoQVfnShm","pdf",184029,"English","# Purpose\n# What is psychological testing?\n# The psychological testing process\n## What can you take into the room?\n# Preparing you for Testing\n## Preparation Resources\n## Preparation Tips\n# Test Taking Instructions\n# Summary\n## Appendix A","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of aptitude and psychological testing for joining the ADF?\",\"answer\":\"The tests aim to determine applicants’ skills and abilities and match them to ADF jobs requiring the same skill sets.\"},{\"question\":\"How are the tests administered and how are they structured?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants answer questions within a restricted time.
