What are the Situational Judgement tests (SJT)

Such tests are multi-dimensional as they measure the practical work related intelligence, social and behavioral judgement, involving also aspects of candidate personality. The tests aims to predict the candidate behaviour in the future based on the similar situations experienced in the past.

Being psychometric tests, SJT are constructed based on a set of competencies that are considered critical for achieving good performance in the specific job. 

Each question presents a work related scenario, gives you 4 seemingly equally viable alternatives/actions and asks to choose the MOST and the LEAST appropriate in the candidate opinion.
