[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 202350, member: 30779"] I just did an Amberjack SJT. This had the four skills: [LIST] [*]grit (getting your work done) [*]applied intellect (social/collaborative) [*]digital mindset - using technology [*]creative force - new ideas [/LIST] It's tempting to choose "do everything yourself and work all hours", which might seem like the gritty option, but if there is a collaborative option that's probably better and will score on applied intellect. Similarly if the choice is "work hard and hope the work will all get done", that's probably a wrong answer: anything that hints at 'working hard' but still only MAYBE succeeding is a bad choice. We want certainty. Similarly any answer which hints at delaying your own work is likely a disaster, and will mark you down on grit. There also appeared to be a question whether there were two obvious bad answers: one which was just self-interest/selfishness without concern for others, and another which betrayed a lack of empathy. I think the 'lack of empathy' answer needed to be the worst answer to score well on applied intellect. [/QUOTE]
