Officer like Qualities (OLQs) are qualities that a candidate must have to get commission in Armed Forces. During SSB candidates are evaluated on following OLQs: Effective Intelligence, Reasoning Ability, Power of Expression, Self Confidence, Determination, Organizing Ability, Initiative, Courage, Cooperation, Sense of Responsibility, Stamina, Group Influencing Ability, Liveliness, Social Adaptability and Speed of Decision. Some of the OLQs qualities can be gained with our day to day experiences and learning. You can develop these qualities by participating in sports and extracurricular activities, working with NGOs on community initiatives, student forums in school and colleges etc. If you participate in some young leadership programs, it may help you to develop some of the qualities.
