What type of scenarios are typically avoided in the Situational Judgment section?

In the Situational Judgment section, scenarios that are highly specialized or technical and unrelated to security are typically avoided because the focus is on assessing an individual’s judgment and decision-making skills in contexts relevant to the role or environment for which they are being evaluated. This section is designed to present realistic workplace situations that candidates are likely to encounter, ensuring that their responses reflect practical, relatable decision-making abilities.

Including scenarios that are overly specialized or unrelated would not effectively gauge how a candidate would respond to scenarios relevant to their prospective job, particularly in roles requiring strong judgment in security matters. The emphasis is on practical situations that require assessment of interpersonal skills, ethical considerations, and the ability to prioritize tasks effectively in a security context, rather than on niche technicalities that may not be broadly applicable.
