[QUOTE="Ram Sabaratnam, post: 185518, member: 36738"] Hi [USER=33885]@fingersarecrossed[/USER] SJTs can be tricky because there isn’t a single “correct” way to approach them. The best answer often depends on the specific question and the options you’re given - sometimes this means answering closer to the far left, at other times it will mean being towards the other end. Overall, SJTs are designed to assess whether your responses align with the values and behaviours the organisation looks for in candidates. As Jess Booker previously emphasised to me, these tests often focus on screening out those who don’t align with the company’s values. When tackling SJTs, I found it helpful to understand the firm's values, which can usually be found on the firm's website. I tried to keep a list of this in mind when taking the test, as it served as a reference point to guide how I answered these questions. In particular, try to think about how the firm’s values might influence what they’re looking for in each scenario. For example, if a firm promotes an entrepreneurial mindset, then responses that show initiative or a proactive approach might rank higher. On the other hand, behaviours that seem overly cautious or reliant on others might be less favourable. Ultimately, SJTs aim to see how well your judgement and actions align with the firm’s culture and expectations. There’s no need to always move the slider to the far ends or centre; your choices should reflect what you believe would be most appropriate given the firm’s ethos/culture. Hope this helps, and good luck with the tests! 😊 [/QUOTE]
