Assessment Methods & Selection
Situational Judgment Test (SJT)
An SJT presents realistic job scenarios and asks candidates to choose or rank the most appropriate responses.
"I need to know how someone will actually behave on the job, not just what they say on a resume."
A Situational Judgment Test shows short, job-relevant situations and asks candidates to select, rate, or rank responses; their choices indicate judgment, decision-making, and fit for role demands. SJTs measure likely real-world behavior by simulating dilemmas and trade-offs rather than testing knowledge alone.
