Ok my opinion

You talk about your true intentions...and i think that they would like to see people who are real as im sure that a lot of people just lie to get in

It does sound a little bit selfish though...but i would have respected you nontheless and accept you

I think its very real but if you want to add more tell them of the type of person you are (focus on the good stuff ) and how much you believe those qualities are what this institution needs

Aww well any advice/criticism is A-ok with me lol. Just good to hear someone elses perspective since I tend to be a tough critic on myself.

Do you know what they ask you? Is it known to be really hard? If you get really nervous maybe practicing talking in front of a mirror may help.

and see it's not just a virgo thing haha

na i heard some of the question they ask but they put lots of attention to body language and things like that and not only anwsers

this can really ruins someones job in the militairy if he misbehaves or gives anwsers that the unit he wants to be accepted into doesent want

the job i wanted to do was excatly that...i wanted to be a psychotechnic interviewer just like the one who is going to question me....it sounds SO interesting

I researched a bit and found out that they do thoroughly check essays for plagiarism. Don't want that to be a problem.
