Question

Behavioral SJT: Strategy and Examples

Context

You are completing a 60-item behavioral situational judgment test (Likert scale: Strongly Disagree → Strongly Agree). You may split the assessment across sessions but must finish within 4 days. If you pass, the result remains valid for 2 years.

Task

Explain how you would approach the test to:

Read and interpret each statement carefully, especially when two items sound similar but differ in meaning.
Avoid overusing Neutral by committing to Agree/Disagree when your behavior could vary, reserving Strongly Agree/Disagree for clear convictions.
Maintain internal consistency and avoid contradictory responses (e.g., not endorsing both "I make all purchases online" and "I must touch items to judge quality before ordering").
Manage time if it takes longer than the suggested 30 minutes.

Provide concrete examples of choices and reasoning.
