A teammate keeps missing shared deadlines, and it's starting to delay your own work. What is the most effective first step?
About this test
This free situational judgement test (SJT) measures your workplace judgment — how you read realistic on-the-job situations and choose the most effective response. Ten short scenarios cover the competencies employers assess most: teamwork and conflict, integrity and professionalism, and prioritising under pressure. It takes about five minutes and needs no registration.
Unlike a knowledge test, an SJT has no facts to recall — it asks what you would do. Each scenario offers four plausible responses; one is the most effective by the standards graduate and job-selection assessments use: address issues directly and professionally, take ownership early, and prioritise by impact. We score your choices and email a breakdown by competency.
SJT performance improves with reflection more than memorisation. Reviewing why the most effective response works — and where your instinct pulled toward a quicker or more comfortable option — sharpens your judgment fast. The report shows which competency to focus on first.
Frequently asked questions
What is a situational judgement test?
A situational judgement test (SJT) presents realistic workplace scenarios and asks you to choose the most effective response. Employers use SJTs in graduate schemes and job-selection because how you would handle real situations predicts on-the-job behaviour better than a CV alone.
How is it scored?
Each scenario has a most-effective response based on established workplace best practice. You score a point for choosing it; we then break your result down by competency — teamwork, integrity, and prioritising — so you can see your strengths.
Is there really a right answer?
Real situations are nuanced, but well-designed SJT items have a clearly most-effective option: one that addresses the issue directly and professionally, takes ownership, and considers the impact on others. The weaker options are usually passive, avoidant, premature, or self-serving.
What competencies does it cover?
Three that nearly every employer assesses: teamwork and handling conflict, integrity and professionalism, and prioritising tasks under pressure.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free and no account needed. You enter an email only so we can send your competency-by-competency report.
