View Explanation

Primary: Adaptability
Secondary Competencies: Problem solving

Correct response: C
By taking the online course (response C), Stan is preparing for the upcoming change. He is likely to gain tools that can help him deal effectively with problems that may occur while working with the new system. This is a responsible and well-thought response which shows adaptability. This response demonstrates a willingness to take steps toward adapting to a new situation, as well as good problem solving skills, by choosing a strategy that is likely to prevent and solve future problems.

Explanation:
Referring clients to more experienced staff (response A) could solve some of the problems clients might encounter. However, Stan is not taking an active part in the solution, and is not, in fact, doing his job. There is also no strategy or plan for him to become familiar with the new system. Thus, he remains incapable of doing his job. Here, Stan is showing that he has no willingness or ability to adapt to the new situation. Forcing his colleagues to add an additional workload to their busy schedule shows flawed problem solving.

Turning to his supervisor at every step of the way (response B) shows Stan lacks the ability to adapt independently to new situations. This signals that he has a problem with adaptability. It's also likely that the supervisor is not really needed for every step of the way, so this is flawed problem solving.

Contacting the IT department (response D) whenever a problem occurs could provide an effective solution to various problems. However, it doesn't show how Stan is preparing for the change. It is also likely that by preparing and taking the online course (response C), Stan could solve many problems by himself and prevent other problems from ever happening. In order to be effective, Stan needs to actively acquire the information and integrate it into his work. This response lacks the adaptability shown in response C.

The Administration SJT consists of 25-50 scenarios, each followed by one to three questions with 3-5 response choices. You will either need to choose the most or least appropriate action in solving the problems or have to rank or rate all of the given responses in the order of their effectiveness. There is usually no time limit to answer the questions. The test may be video-based or pencil-and-paper. The scenarios found on the test are all reflective of actual difficulties experienced daily by administrative personnel.

Learning the competencies involved in successfully administering an office is an important part of your preparation process. Some of the main administrative characteristics sought by employers and that should be exhibited through your Administrative SJT answers are:

Ability to plan and organize the workload
Dependability
Integrity
Effectively handling the needs of callers, visitors and coworkers
Adaptability
Initiative

When preparing with JobTestPrep, you will analyze the administrative competencies highlighted in each practice test scenario and the logic behind the most and least appropriate response. Start preparing for the Administrative SJT today and improve your score.
