Situational
Judgement Test

Our qualified in-house business psychologists have been developing psychometric tests for over 10 years. They push for innovation and are regular lecturers at Birkbeck, University of London. Our psychologists have developed advanced expertise in the latest psychometric methods including item response theory including the Rash model. Our expertise means we are often used by other psychometric test publishers to help them build or improve their psychometric assessments. By working with Test Partnership you get industry-recognised expertise from qualified business psychologists.

Our psychologists use the latest psychometric test models including item response theory (IRT) to ensure accurate test scores. Our assessments have industry-leading reliability and validity properties, so you can have confidence in the outcomes. The results you get from our assessments have been demonstrated through research to be highly accurate which means you get actionable insights into your candidates' performance. By working with Test Partnership you get confidence in your data.

The advantage of situational judgement tests lies in their objectivity, as they do not necessitate a human evaluator or assessor. Human assessors can potentially introduce unconscious bias into the assessment process. Through situational judgement testing, we reduce the likelihood of unconscious bias at this stage in the recruitment process, thereby ensuring that high performers are not excluded due to irrelevant demographic factors. Our assessments are meticulously crafted with inclusivity as a primary consideration.

Research has shown that situational judgement tests are effective and reliable predictors of real-world job performance. Moreover, they show "incremental" validity over and above ability tests and personality questionnaires, offering unique insight into a candidate's potential. With our situational judgement tests, you can confidently identify and predict the future success of your applicants.

A situational judgement test is perfect for any roles where the employee is required to make on-the-spot effective decision identify patterns and when applicant pools may come from diverse linguistic backgrounds. These may include roles such as accountants, data scientists, consultants, and positions involving data analysis or budget management.

Situational judgement is essential to performance in any role with significant personal autonomy. SJTs provide a straightforward, work-place relevant assessment of overall situational judgement ability, which can be make or break in autonomous roles.

Situational judgement tests in the hiring process assess candidates' quantitative skills, predict job performance, and ensure objectivity, saving time and resources while enhancing the quality of hires and reducing potential risks. Situational judgement is a key facet of general cognitive ability, the strongest overall predictor of job performance. As a result, situational judgement tests are powerful predictors of performance at work, especially in combination with other aptitude tests.

Our tests use adaptive test technology which allows our situational judgement tests to be suitable for all levels (from school leavers to senior executives). The difficulty level of the question asked will depend upon the performance of the candidate, allowing maximum precision in assessing their ability in the minimum amount of time.
