Published 3 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- That the Self-Description Inventory (SDI) is a 240-item, 45-minute personality test on the AFOQT.
- The SDI does not impact your main AFOQT composite scores but is reviewed separately by selection boards.
- It measures personality traits that align with the "Big Five" model to assess officer suitability.
- The biggest trap is answering inconsistently, as built-in validity scales will flag attempts to manipulate the results.
- A helpful mnemonic for key traits is LICE: Leadership, Integrity, Conscientiousness, and Emotional Stability.
