Group discussion is a methodology used by organizations to evaluate candidates on desirable personality traits and skills. In a group discussion, candidates are given a topic and asked to discuss it among themselves for 15-20 minutes. Organizations use group discussions to assess a candidate's ability to work in a team, communicate effectively, think critically, lead others, and demonstrate soft skills. To succeed, candidates should take leadership roles when appropriate, respect others' opinions, maintain an open mindset, and avoid negative behaviors like constant objections, pessimism, insults, or becoming emotional.
