Situation Reaction Test

Situation Reaction Test :

This test is mainly to judge a candidate's ability to use his presence of mind to tackle a given situation he may come across any time in life. The candidate is, thus, expected to choose the best response which shall present him/her as a good person or a sincere professional.

Example 1 :  If in an examination hall, you find that the question paper is too tough to be answered satisfactorily by you, the best thing to do for you is to

  • (a) tell the examiner that the questions are out of course
  • (b) provoke the candidates to walk out of the examination hall
  • (c) try to know something from your neighbour
  • (d) try to solve the questions as much as you know with a cool head
  • Solution : Clearly, an ideal student shall never be expected to create a row over such an issue or try to copy the answers. Also, a situation can best be tackled by not creating panic rather trying to solve it with a cool head. Hence, the answer is (d).

    Example 2 : You are attending a formal meeting of launching a new product in the market. Meeting is very boring and unproductive as team is not reaching to a particular course of action. Meeting is going on in your office. You would

  • (a) pretend to have received an urgent call and go back to your chamber/desk
  • (b) try to involve yourself and make the meeting more productive and help the team in reaching a conclusion
  • (c) bear the meeting because it would be rude to leave
  • (d) try to postpone the meeting
  • Solution : (b) Option (b) shows the assertiveness and power of verbal expression in difficult situation leaving the meeting will show your irresponsiveness and bad image. So, option (a) is not suitable. Option (c) and (d) show lack of focus and commitment in the organisation's interest. So, answer is (b).
