psychological tests
 

What do you think these are like and how many people do you think get to that stage? What stage do you think they are on now?

Don't know

Everybody who wants to enter the house has a psychological test to make sure they are mentaly stable to enter.

Jacob! hey how are you?

how far has bb auditions gone?

Is Amy Green or Sam King (both models) going to be a bb11 housemate?

please tell all!

Did they skip that bit for BB7 then :joker:

as far as im concerned, if you fail then you should go into the house

I want you in!

hopefully ill be on the real world :p

dont think i could do BB, id go crazy being deprived of everything and i would be the most hated housemate ever :joker:

I will still love you! and I hope you get on The Real World!

We know everyone has them but how many do you think are in at that point?

well i havent had anything back yet, so we will see

Yes we shall see. I should apply for stuff on bog off tv channels!

That wasn't the question though, was it?

Do give us your "inside info" :)...

There has to of been people who passed the tests and yet still broke down in that house. Its a big cauldron. Its a real mental issue.

There's easily 200 still in at that point. It's a few hours with a psychiatrist and a few hours with a psychologist and happen after the group days in London. If you were at a group day and didn't hear within a week you're more than likely out.

No, it was down to 200 in the last group rounds apparently.

I'm sorry but if Shahbaz and Sree pass the shrinks then I really worry for those who fail. Poor Kerry Katona and Sherrie Hewson :joker:

Lol yep.. well you see they were probably good actors before they applied for BB and once they actually get onto BB they are as dull as dishwater.

There can be more than 200 from the group rounds as there's usually 10 in each group and they go on for over four weeks. A good proportion go from each group to the psych evals. Plus some people who they've earmarked (from prev years, trial housemates etc) go straight to the psychs.

yeah exactly.

200 people do not see the psychs.

So, what's your guess at the numbers?

I imagine they halve those numbers and then from that 100 they send a certain amount to the psychs. I wouldnt want to guess an exact number as I wouldnt know

Well, Jacob?

well does anyone know what come after the tests?

I think they are still looking at about 50-60 people. I think the numbers are quite low now ...

Not to be rude, but I've been in hiding a few years ago so I've a pretty good grasp of the process and timelines. After the psych tests there's lots of long phone calls, they'll talk to your family/friends, get you to get med forms in, get police clearance form from you, if you get really far, in end April/early May they sent a person to spend time with you, meet some of your friends, see your home etc. If you're really lucky, you'll then get a call to go to hiding in Europe with chaperones, which is still not a guarantee that you'll be a housemate as they send more into hiding than they do in the house.
It's a fun rollercoaster if you get to be a part of it.
