In today's episode, we sit down with Dr. Alex MacIntosh, Senior Research Manager at Acuity Insights, to talk about Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs). Situational Judgement Tests present realistic situations to applicants and ask them how they would respond to the situation. Dr. MacIntosh walks us through open- and fixed-response SJTs and how the open-response format helps highlight the 'why' behind the response and is better able to showcase the lived experiences of the respondent.
