Biodata items include SES, interests, activities, and social popularity.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only SES
• D. Only education

Answer: (B)

Biographical data (biodata) involve questions about past experiences and behaviors that can be verified and are predictive of future job performance. While interests and activities are commonly included because they reflect relevant experiences, socioeconomic status and social popularity are not standard biodata items. SES is a demographic background characteristic that can introduce bias and isn’t a reliable predictor of performance, and social popularity is a subjective impression rather than a concrete past behavior tied to job tasks. Therefore, the statement is not accurate. Biodata inventories typically cover education, work history, training, languages, volunteer work, clubs or organizations, and concrete interests or activities related to work.
