During the UPSC personality test, interview panelists assess candidates through various critical dimensions. They evaluate communication skills, calmness under pressure, and the candidates' thought processes. Panelists look for clarity in responses and the depth of knowledge exhibited, particularly in subjects relevant to the candidate’s background. Behavioral aspects, such as confidence, body language, and ethical/moral perspectives, also come under scrutiny. Panelists may pose situational questions or dilemmas to understand candidates’ decision-making skills and ability to handle real-world challenges. This comprehensive evaluation aims to discern candidates’ suitability for public service roles.
