Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs)

Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs) are assessments used to evaluate how individuals respond to realistic workplace scenarios. They present hypothetical situations related to job challenges or ethical dilemmas, along with multiple response options. The test measures qualities like problem-solving, decision-making, and interpersonal skills based on the choices made. Employers use SJTs to determine how well a candidate’s judgment aligns with the organization’s values and expectations, providing insight into their behavior in real-world situations without requiring actual experience. They are valuable tools for assessing soft skills that are critical for effective job performance.
