    The test was SJTs and personality questionnaires. I would advise that you think about how you can display the firm's values in every question.

    This time, I practised with their test provider instead of generic SJTs. Then, I also entered their values into Chat GPT and asked it to give me situational questions where I could demonstrate those values.
