HOW TO KNOW THIS PLAN IS WORKING

You will notice:
✔ Responses becoming shorter and clearer
✔ Less urge to impress
✔ Faster decisions
✔ More acceptance of mistakes
✔ Calm confidence

That’s officer psychology, not coaching polish.

FINAL MESSAGE

Psychology Tests don’t reward imagination.
They reward predictable, dependable behaviour.

Train your mind the way officers are trained:

  • Through repetition
  • Through reflection
  • Through responsibility

And your personality will speak—without forcing it.
