Lievens and Motowidlo (2016) addressed three of the most important unanswered questions regarding situational judgment tests (SJTs): (a) Should we view them as tests that can assess relatively generic constructs that predict performance across settings, (b) what constructs can they assess, and (c) how should they be scored? They suggested fundamentally changing the SJT development process by targeting the specific constructs we measure, using scoring systems that address both the targeted traits and their situational effectiveness, examining construct validity, and evaluating the criterion-related validity of SJT traits (Lievens & Motowidlo, pp. 11–12). These recommendations are highly significant on both practical and conceptual grounds.
