Mutual Assessment
[ The short answer ]
The last test conducted on the GTO ground on the third day is the Mutual Assessment. Just as leadership qualities are essential for a commander, the ability to assess subordinates or other members of the team is also important.
Since the candidates stay together at the ISSB for several days, they get the opportunity to know one another. In addition, by participating in various group tasks and tests on the ground, they develop an understanding of the performance of the other members of their group.
Through the Mutual Assessment, each candidate is required to present his or her assessment of the other members of the group based on the experiences of these four days.
After the GTO ground activities are completed, the candidates remain in their respective sheds to participate in the Mutual Assessment test.
The GTO then provides everyone with a short answer sheet and explains the necessary instructions. According to the instructions, each candidate must complete the answer sheet within the specified time and submit it individually and directly to the GTO.
At this stage, the candidate's judgment, power of observation, cordiality and mutual understanding, and ability to assess others are evaluated.
