1Tips about Picture Story Writing in Psychological Test

I want to share with you some points to keep in mind

while writing a picture story, here they are:

1. Take a while to actually think of a story before

stating to write.5 to 10 sec are enough if you have

practiced at your home. Those who dont practice sit

idle for 30 sec but still cant come up with a plot for the

story. "Practice makes a man perfect".

2. Do not write childish stories like " She was walking

alone on a road at night when all of a sudden..... a lion

came before her and she started screaming then

superman came for her rescue" Try to make a little bit

practical stories like "she saw an army jeep coming

towards her, it stopped near her and a major came

out, he asked what are you doing out so late, she toldthat her father is sick at home and all of the family is

out of town, she couldn't find anyone to help so she

took the courage and went on her own to go to near

by Cantonment hospital, Major made a wireless call

2for an ambulance and took the girl to her home to herfather. Ambulance came and took him to hospital and

he recovered". This story although is quite short and

does not satisfy the few rules ill mention but it makes

a negative situation quite positive, clears any doubts,

and shows courage and decision making ability.

3. I personally find sentence story more difficult then

picture story. Because in picture story u can carve out

anything.

4. In case of picture story you need to look at the

picture, think of something relating to the situation.

try to include each and every character in the pictureand the surroundings.

5. Usually the following sequence is adopted... first 2 3

lines give an introduction of the main character and

PAST. 2 3 lines tell about the PRESENT and what is

happening in the picture and the last 2 3 lines tell

about some positive future happening from thisscene.

6. Six months back one of my friends had a similar

psychology test and the pic showed a boy sitting on


3/4

3stairs. He made a story "Ali is in class 5, today he gothis final result and he stood first in his class, he is

very happy. He is now sitting on the stairs waiting for

his father to come so that he can tell the good news to

him. His father a laborer when came home in the

evening was so delighted to hear the news. He was

proud of his son's achievement. Ali continued his

successful record and became an engineer"

7. You would have to write 5 to 6 stories in total, Do

not include Army in all the stories. At max include

army/navy /airforce in 3 stories. Like in above example

you can write, he joined armed forces of Pakistan.

8. Try to include something of your past in the stories,

to make them more real. Like i included 5th class

because i got a scholarship and i did mention it in my

bio data form, meaning that you have to relate your

self to them.

9. Try to avoid accidents, tragedy, death, in thestories.
