The questions measure your ability to infer a set of rules from a flowchart or sequence of diagrams and then to apply those rules to new situation. Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs) assess how you approach situations encountered in the workplace. They test your suitability for a particular role. Our test experts have identified 8 key competencies which are essential to get ahead of the competition.
