TRY AN EXAMPLE QUESTION
Try a Compliance & Ethics question.
Explore a workplace situation and consider the available responses. The full test uses a consistent set of situations to help you compare candidates’ judgement.
Compliance & EthicsWorkplace scenario
You work for a pharmaceutical company conducting clinical trials for a potentially life-saving drug. During a weekly check-in, one of your new reports mentions they realized they made a small error while processing the trial data that, if addressed, could delay the drug's approval by several months. As they are still not fully familiar with your company's policies, they ask you whether they should officially raise the issue or keep the information confidential.
A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Using Compliance & Ethics in recruitment.
What does the Compliance & Ethics test assess?
Each question describes a situation with an ethical or procedural edge, such as a colleague who wants an error kept quiet, and asks what the candidate would do. The strongest answers follow the procedure, raise the concern with the right person and avoid making the problem worse. It measures judgement, not knowledge of a specific regulation.
How can you use the Compliance & Ethics results?
Use the result to shortlist, then ask finalists about a time they had to raise a concern. Pair the test with a situational judgement test for customer-facing roles and with an error checking test where accuracy is part of compliance. For regulated roles, the test informs the interview; it does not replace background checks.
Which situations matter for your role?
- Regulated workConsidering procedures and ethical responsibilities.
- Supervisory rolesResponding when a concern is raised.
- Operational rolesKnowing when an issue needs clarification or escalation.
Choosing tests for your vacancy
Choose Compliance and Ethics when candidates need to consider procedures, ethical choices and when to raise a concern. Add Decision-Making for weighing options, or Accountability for taking responsibility. Review any specialist regulatory knowledge separately; general judgement questions do not establish a professional qualification.

BEFORE YOU START
Your Compliance & Ethics questions, answered.
Does the Compliance & Ethics test show how someone will behave at work?
It shows how candidates choose to respond to workplace situations. A selected response does not establish how they will behave in real work. Ask for a relevant example at interview.
Which Compliance & Ethics topics should matter for my role?
Start with the work the person will do. This page covers ethical decisions, following procedures, raising concerns. Decide which of those areas matter for your role before reviewing results, and explore any specialist requirements separately.
Can I combine Compliance & Ethics with other tests?
Yes. Add Compliance & Ethics alongside other relevant tests in one assessment. Choose the combination for your role and review the total time before inviting candidates.
Can I assess real candidates for free?
Yes. Create your account, build an assessment and invite candidates. Your first 5 candidate results are free. No credit card is required.
What happens after my free results?
You pay per candidate result you unlock, rather than per test. There is no subscription or annual commitment. Check the pricing page for current rates.
How should I use the Compliance & Ethics results?
Compare results against the knowledge or ability your role needs. Use them to focus interviews and practical tasks, alongside relevant experience. A test score should not decide who you hire on its own.
