Situational judgment test (SJTs) require you, as an examinee, to
think about what is occurring in the scenario and decide which
response option identifies the most effective course of action.
Other response options may be something you could do to
respond in the situation, but SJTs require thinking and acting
based on the best of the available options. Do not base your
answer on your organization's approach to handling the
situation, but rather, answer based on what you know should be
done according to best practice. Panels of SHRM-certified
subject matter experts rate the effectiveness of each response
option, and the "best" answer is derived by statistical analysis of
those expert opinions.
