The fourth tool of psychological test is the Pointer Story Writing. In ISSB Pointer Story Writing, an incomplete story of 2 lines will be given to you for a limited period of time and you have to solve the story. This test is also conducted to analyze the psychological traits of a candidate.
Number of ISSB Pointer Story Writing
A total of two pointer stories will be presented to you. These two pointer stories will consist of incomplete sentences containing maximum two lines.
Time:
The time allotted to a one pointer story is 30 seconds. For 30 seconds a pointer story will be displayed on the multimedia and 30 seconds will be provided to you to think about a story. Just like picture story writing, 3.5 minutes will be given to you to write down a story. Same process will repeat for the other pointer story.
