But if you chose the same answer for 2 or more out of the 4 then you had to rank them. Could you give some advice for that please?

for national sift situational judgement test can there be more than one answer or do we have to pick one out of the four list

@how2become 6 ай бұрын

Generally, these tests ask you to choose only one answer that best represents what you would do in the given situation. This format helps assess your judgment and decision-making skills in line with the requirements of the police role. It's important to carefully read the instructions provided at the beginning of the test, as they will specify how to select your responses. I hope this helps!

Diversity is important within the police Service and whether you identify more as an introvert or an extrovert there is a place for you.

@@how2become thanks I’ve got mine coming up soon, the competency based interview would this be a good answer for answering explain when you’ve worked as part of a team. Answer: at McDonald’s, majority of the time I led the front counter team. We needed to increase our monthly sales as they had declined. I started a weekly meeting where the team could brainstorm and share their ideas for innovating and finding new sales tactics. Although, we had some conflict as some were to reluctant to change, I used my experience to deter this. I made sure everyone understood their role in achieving this goal by explaining how that role will help us to achieve the end result. Also, by allotting time for brainstorming, it helped keep the motivation from the outset as everyone felt invested as they were all allowed a say on things. So, I worked with colleagues to put these ideas into presentations which we delivered to managers. Ultimately, I adopted several of the team’s ideas and ended up beating our annual sales target by 20%
