Explore a workplace situation and consider the available responses. The full test uses a consistent set of situations to help you compare candidates’ judgement.

BEFORE YOU START

Your Decision-Making questions, answered.

Does the Decision-Making 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 Decision-Making topics should matter for my role?

Start with the work the person will do. This page covers evaluating options, weighing information, choosing a response. Decide which of those areas matter for your role before reviewing results, and explore any specialist requirements separately.

Can I combine Decision-Making with other tests?

Yes. Add Decision-Making 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 Decision-Making 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.
