What is Sentence Completion Test and How its Conducted at ISSB

Sentence Completion Test, also known as SCT, is a part of Psychologist Tests at ISSB. In this test, candidates are given incomplete sentences and they have to complete these sentences. Its similar to fill in the blanks, though here one has to complete sentence to make sense.

Sentence completion test (SCT) is a projective test used by psychologists to explore the needs, inner conflicts, fantasies, attitudes, aspirations, adjustment difficulties, and sexual abuse in the children and adolescence. The Sentence Completion Method is a further development of the Word Association Test, in which a subject is presented with a stimulus word and responds with the first word that comes to mind. The answers can be tagged from a conflict (pessimism, hostility, hopelessness) to neutral (stereotypes, catchphrases, cliches) to positive (humor, optimism, acceptance) rating

The candidates are provided with a paper on which 26 partial / incomplete sentences are written. Every candidate gets two pages (one by one). Both of which have 26 sentences on each to complete (one sheet is in English, while other is in Urdu). So, the total sentences are 54.The candidates has to complete the sentences in 6 minutes each.
