Personality Development Tips For Defence Aspirants

 Personality is the combination of characteristics or qualities that form an individual’s distinctive character.  Personality can be defined in different ways, depending on whether we focus on the individual or on people in general. If we focus on people in general, then we can define personality in terms of individual differences — that is, the range of different styles of thinking, feeling and acting. Just as human beings can differ a great deal in terms of their physical traits (height, weight, hair, and so on), they also differ in terms of mental and behavioural traits.

If we focus on the personality of a specific individual, we can define it as that person’s particular set of enduring dispositions or long-term tendencies to think, feel and act in particular ways.

Military Can Change Personality

“One of the goals of the military to break down the mentality you had in the outside world, and they’re going to build you up as a soldier,”said Josh Jackson, an assistant professor of psychology at Washington University in St. Louis. “If you’re going to find some life experience leading to changes in personality traits, it seems like one of the best environments for that to happen would be the military experience.”

Developing personality is not easy as it is shaped by many factors like:

  • Way one is brought up
  • Educational qualifications and studies done
  • Family background and social status
  • Way of thinking and living and the people one is surrounded with

Definitely this list is not exhaustive and can increase and also be assured that controlling such factors is not in our hands earlier but now you have full control and should work as below to achieve your goal for the development of personality and thus achieving success :

  • Live life with positivity: Life is very small and hence every second of it should be spent wisely. It should not be the case that one is wasting life. Positive thinking even at difficult situations can help in coming out and this approach changes the way one looks and live the life. Thus it helps in improving your psychological responses.
  • Controlled body language: body language is the reflection of ones personality before anyone can speak up things. It always help individual to perform better at places. It also tells many traits and thus assessors make it important tool to assess at SSB to know about one’s personality.

  • Self-introspection of self: This is a technique where one assess himself or herself w.r.t OLQ’s by studying life events. In times to come it will be the only key to success at SSB. Many a times aspirants have complaint to me by dropping personal mail that everyone says do introspection while guiding us but no one has done it for us and made our profiles while teaching or guiding in large groups. Suggestion for such people is that always look for individual guidance so that personality could be properly assessed and there is full time dedication for self.

  • Learning from failures: There is so much to do in today’s era that even if one failure comes one should pick up the learning and perform in the next go. There might be many dreams that will be fulfilled while others may not but one should move ahead with constant pace.

Life at NDA - photo gallery

National Defence Academy, Poona. 2018 This series on the  National Defence Academy  in India joint Services academy of the  Indian Armed Forces , where cadets of the three services, the  Army , the  Navy  and the  Air Force  train together before they go on to pre-commissioning training in their respective service academies. It is the first tri-service academy in the world. In 2013, I travelled to NDA to realize the portraits of cadets from one of the most important military academies in the post-colonial world. Interested since for a long time in the quest of looking at the so-called “Indian” Military identity — I met these young officers cadets who are a symbol of the link that exists between their school’s traditions and their history, and the future these cadets hold for the subcontinent’s military system. I have chosen to shoot portraits to create a topographic overlay of the academy beyond any nationalistic identity.
