Situational Judgment Test

Also known as: SJT, Situational Judgement Test

A hiring assessment that presents candidates with hypothetical workplace scenarios and asks them to select the "best" and "worst" responses from a predefined multiple-choice list. SJTs assume a single correct behaviour per scenario, which can systematically disadvantage neurodivergent, autistic, brain-injured, or culturally different candidates whose reasoning does not map to the test designers' norms. Accessibility concerns include heavy reading load, strict timing, and the inability to explain one's reasoning through the interface.
