PROGRESSIVE GROUP TASK
As the name suggest it progressively increases the degree of
difficulty in completing these tasks.
In A PGT there are Four sub tasks
The PGT is considered to be one of the tests in the Pre-
Confirmatory series.
This is an Out Door Task, where the complete group is tested for
various qualities.
These tasks brings out a set of Demonstrated qualities of an
individual while performing in a group.
The candidates are assessed as
a) Performer
b) Follower
c) Observer
The inherent qualities of an individual gets
reflected in these tasks.
The bold ones, the later starters, the shy ones, the dull ones all
are revealed to the assessment officer
Perhaps that is the reason why many candidates who had done well in
other Individual tasks/ tests are bowled out in this test.
By the end of this test the assessment officer can easily
make up his mind about
who is who in the group.
Tips:
1.
Listen
to the GTO while he does his briefing.
2.
When
taken to the obstacle OBSERVE. ( Look at the obstacle and various structures
with in the area ear marked for this task).
3.
Now
formulate various method of negotiating the obstacle with the help of the help
material those are given to you.
Help Materials would be
- Wooden Planks 1 / 2 of different length and
width
- Bally (Bamboo)
- Rope
- For Some tasks, you would be provided with
once use-able help material.
Normally the PGT is designed in such a way that at
least by three different methods the group can complete this task
The ideas are grouped into
a) High level Idea
b) Middle level Idea
c) Low level Idea.
To complete these tasks with in the stipulated time
the group has to follow a certain path and co-operate with one
another.
The challenge is to observe the restrictions given.
The restrictions are:-
- one cannot jump ( either vertical or
Horizontal ) that is more than 4 feet distance from you. at any point of
time
- No two help items can be tied
- You can use only the the White coloured area
for men and Material
- You cannot use the Blue coloured area for
the material ( ie. you cannot keep material of
any structure that is marked. )
- The red coloured structures can not be used
at all.
- No muscle power can be used to hold a plank
or bally and put weight on it.
- One should not step in to the out of bound
area.
- Time limit.
- No two movable items can be tied to make it
longer.
- You have to be with in the Start line and
Finish line and not step side ways
- Unless the whole group crosses the first
obstacle, you cannot move on to the next one.
How to go about?
observe- make a mental note of the path to be followed
request the sub ordinates for help and take initiative.
Be a performer and not an observer.
Always help others, suggest ideas.
Do not argue or use abusive language.
Do not lose your cool.
Stick to the rules and regulations
If some one steps on the out of bound area do tell them to come
back to the previous position.
Personal attire:
Wash the Chest no and wear it.
What ever is the dress code mentioned in the Call up letter follow
it up.
Wear neat dress every day.
See that your shoes and socks are also washed and cleaned.
Shave and look smart.
In short make your self impressive both by the way you dress
and perform.
Simple workable ideas:-
- For most of the tasks Cantilever
technique will work.
hence look out for a method as
to how you can use it.
- Look at the available structures- see
if they can be Bridged or The distance
between them can be reduced in such a way that it is less than 4
feet so that you can get across.
- Make effective use of rope.
- Observe the structures, some of the
structures can be rotated or pulled in order to make it accessible.
- Make effective use of once movable item, if
provided.
- Make sure that the third or the fourth
person carries the load so that the last man is not put to stress.
- Give constructive ideas when the person in
the front gets stuck.
