Group Dynamics

Group Discussion (GD) Tactics

The GD assesses your logic, knowledge, and ability to convince others without dominating.

  • Initiate the discussion if you are confident about the topic.
  • Provide logical arguments with facts and figures.
  • Encourage quiet group members to speak.
  • Maintain eye contact with the group, not the GTO.

2. Body (2m)
