SITUATIONAL JUDGMENT TESTS - EXAMPLE Every Word Counts Imagining Worst and Best Case Scenario You are working on a complex project when one of the members of your Unit gives you some negative feedback about your way of working that comes as a complete surprise to you. You have never received feedback on this area before and you had previously considered it a moderate strength of yours. It has been playing on your mind for the past week as you are keen to be seen in a positive way by others. Pick the most and least effective answer. 42
SITUATIONAL JUDGMENT TESTS - EXAMPLE Answer Options: Courses of Action Evaluation Values Try to improve your image in the eyes of the person who gave you the feedback by describing to them why you acted in the way you did and how it has brought you success in the past.

Ask a selection of other people for feedback on the area concerned to see if this corroborates the original negative feedback. Self reflect some more, and read up on how to develop in the area identified. Take each option to the extreme 43
