What do Situational Judgement Tests assess?
A Situational Judgement Test or SJT is a type of psychometric test that presents candidates with real-life work situations and then asks them to decide on the best response to that situation. The Legal Administrator SJT is a situational judgement test that is specifically geared towards someone working in an administrative or organisational role.
Typical roles that would use our administrator SJT are:
1. Legal Administrators
2. Legal Secretaries
3. Legal PAs
Overview of the Legal Administrator SJT
Our Legal Administrator SJT presents candidates with 16 distinct situations that many Administrators and PAs might find familiar working in a Law Firm. For each situation, 4 possible responses are given, each presenting a feasible response someone in a role may take. Candidates are asked to review these responses and select 1 response they consider to be ‘ most appropriate’ and another they think would be the ‘least appropriate’. As with all our SJTs, the Legal Administrator SJT is untimed but typically takes up to 10 minutes to complete.
The Administrator SJT measures 4 competencies / behaviours:
1. Working Together: Working with others to maximise outcomes.
2. Seeking Solutions: Understanding and establishing customer’ needs.
3. Taking the Initiative: Routinely providing high-quality outcomes / services.
4. Professional Credibility: Acting with integrity and professionalism.

How to do well in your Legal Administrator SJT
To do well in a Legal Administrator SJT, it is good to implement the following tips:
1. Attention to Detail and Accuracy: As a Legal Administrator, demonstrating exceptional attention to detail is essential. When answering SJT questions, focus on options that highlight your ability to produce accurate and error-free work, ensuring compliance with legal and organisational standards. Your responses should reflect precision in handling sensitive documents and data.
2. Time Management & Organisation: Legal Administrators often juggle multiple priorities. In SJT scenarios, choose responses that show your strength in organising tasks, meeting tight deadlines, and efficiently managing schedules. Highlight your capability to prioritise effectively and maintain smooth workflows.
3. Communication & Professionalism: Effective communication and maintaining professionalism are key in a legal environment. Select answers that demonstrate your ability to liaise clearly and respectfully with clients, colleagues, and external parties. Emphasise your skill in handling sensitive conversations with discretion and professionalism.
Keep in mind that the best responses in a Legal Administrator SJT reflect a balanced approach to meeting organisational demands and upholding high standards of accuracy, professionalism, and confidentiality. It's not only about completing tasks efficiently but also ensuring compliance with legal protocols and fostering positive working relationships.
