For SJT’s and the questions you are supposed to move the ‘sliders’ accross for, does anyone know if you are supposed to be moderate and not go the full way?

I have trouble knowing if I should find a good level on the slides or go the full way towards what I think is right.

Appreciate insight from anyone who can help / who has passed an SJT with these questions included.
Hi, I generally go fully one way or another towards the trait I think they are looking for, unless both traits are really good or bad. I've been successful with this approach but mainly with non law opportunities (not many law firms use 'sliders'), but that's just my experience.

I was under the impression that the applied intellect score was a combination of the numerical and verbal intellect scores but I could be wrong!

Applied intellect is largely about your social awareness and inclination toward continual learning. Amber Jack states "Applied Intellect is about being able to balance self-awareness, and social skills with the hunger to continually grow, learn and develop." Hope that helps 🙂

    I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mum would be extremely proud of you and I respect you massively for being able to push through. It's funny because firms are always asking for resilient candidates and this has genuinely been the hardest push. I really appreciate your support and wish you the absolute best :)
    Thank you so much, that is very kind of you. I wish you the best also! :)
