The Supervisory Situational Judgment Test (SSJT) is a pre- employment supervisory assessment available through USA Hire, OPM’s online assessment program. Designed as a multiple-choice test, the SSJT asks applicants to respond to realistic work problems or scenarios that are common to supervisory positions in the Government.
The SSJT targets up to eight competencies that are critical to success as a first line supervisor in the Federal Government: accountability, conflict management, customer service, developing others, flexibility, interpersonal skills, problem solving, and strategic thinking.
