According to Bloom's Taxonomy, there are three domains of learning:
The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills (Bloom, 1956). This includes the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts that serve in the development of intellectual abilities and skills. There are six major categories of cognitive an processes, starting from the simplest to the most complex:
- Cognitive: mental skills (knowledge)
- Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas (attitude or self)
- Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (skills)

Lorin Anderson, a former student of Bloom, and David Krathwohl revisited the cognitive domain in the mid-nineties and made some changes, with perhaps the three most prominent ones being (Anderson, Krathwohl, Airasian, Cruikshank, Mayer, Pintrich, Raths, Wittrock, 2000):
The Public Service Commission of Nepal too seems to have adopted Bloom's taxonomy as its core principle in the course of study. It can be easily understood if you go through Public Service Commission Directives, 2067.
Here is the original Blooms Taxonomy of Learning Domains along with the document from PSC.
The more concise one is here:
The document from Public Service Commission of Nepal is down below, which is actually extracted from Public Service Commission Directives, 2067.
Understanding Bloom's Taxonomy will greatly help you proceed how to prepare your entire exam preparation strategy. Having understood this fact, you will be equipped with the types of questions that are going to be asked for your level (Section Officer-Gazetted Third Class) and the content of the answers needed.
