The personality test in the UPSC selection process is structured to assess a candidate’s social skills, emotional intelligence, and suitability for a career in civil services. This test typically occurs after the written examination and consists of an interview conducted by a panel of experts. The panel evaluates candidates based on communication skills, critical thinking, and situational awareness. Aspirants are asked questions that gauge their values, opinions, and knowledge of contemporary issues. The focus is on assessing how well candidates can articulate their thoughts and interact with others, providing a holistic understanding beyond academic performance.
