Situational Judgement Tests (SJT)
The firm will create a list of workplace scenarios and you need to explain what you would do in these situations. These will either take the form of multiple choice questions (e.g. four answers to choose from) or may be open ended. Multiple choice SJTs are likely to be online. Open-ended response SJTs will usually form part of an interview. This video gives great advice about how to tackle SJTs:
Preparing for your SJT
Values: SJTs are designed to assess how well your judgement aligns with the employer’s values. Read the organisation’s mission statement and research their corporate culture in advance. This will help guide your decision-making. When responding to a question, always think about what a professional [junior] employee would do in that scenario.
Artificial Intelligence: You can get AI to create tailored common workplace scenarios. In your AI prompt use the phrase “Situational Judgement Test” and information about the company (include their mission statement and values). AI can also create multiple choice questions and answers. Use these to sharpen your skills.
There are loads of websites out there where you can practise logic-based questions, SJTs or similar. For example, SHL.
