Situational Judgement Test
PsychologicalRead realistic cockpit and crew-room scenarios and judge how a professional flight crew would respond. A practice and reflection tool: after you commit, you compare your judgement with an expert reference and read the reasoning behind it. Play the classic format, or a chat presentation modelled on Aon's chatAssess.
Overview
What it looks like: You read a short cockpit or crew-room scenario, then judge a set of possible responses — picking the most and least effective, or rating each one. After you commit, you see how your judgement compares with an expert reference and read the reasoning behind it. What it measures: Your situational judgement — how you weigh safety, teamwork, procedure and pressure when the right move is a matter of professional judgement rather than calculation. Airline and military pilot selections (e.g. cut-e's Co-Pilot Situational Questionnaire, SHL SJTs, and the AFOQT Situational Judgment subtest) use this format to see how you think, not to catch you out. The scenarios and expert keys here are original, authored in-house from public CRM and threat-and-error-management best practice — alignment is educational, and real airline keys will differ, so treat your result as reflective feedback rather than a predictive score. The optional chat presentation is modelled on the format of Aon's chatAssess, which delivers SJT items as a workplace chat where colleagues message you and you answer by choosing a reply. In that mode only your single chosen reply is scored against the expert ratings, so the least effective signal is not sampled, and the real product's embedded video messages are not modelled here.
Example: which response is most, and least, effective?
Read the scenario, then weigh each response the way a professional crew would. There is no single arithmetically correct answer — the expert key rates each option, and marks the single best and single worst.
Rushed departure
You are the first officer. With a tight departure slot and ground pushing for an immediate taxi, the captain (pilot flying) calls “taxi” before the before-taxi checklist is finished — the flight-control check has not been done. What is the most, and least, effective response?
Example: the chat presentation
In chat mode the same scenarios arrive as messages from a named colleague, modelled on the format of Aon's chatAssess. Messages appear one by one, then you choose the one reply you would send and press Send. After sending you see the expert view. Try it below. The real chatAssess can also embed video messages inside the chat, which this practice version does not model.

Game Phases
Configure
Choose the presentation (classic or chat), how many scenarios, a dimension focus, the response format (most/least or rate in classic, pick a reply in chat), and whether you judge what you SHOULD or WOULD do.
Judge each scenario
Read the situation and weigh the options. There is no timer — reason it through the way a professional crew would.
See the expert view
After you commit, each option reveals its expert rating and the item shows a short rationale explaining why the best is best and the worst is worst.
Reflect on the report
See your overall alignment with the expert key and a per-dimension breakdown, then review every scenario with its rationale.

Judgement & Attitudes
3 exercisesHazardous Attitudes
Learn and reflect on the FAA's Five Hazardous Attitudes from aeronautical decision-making training. Rate 25 statements for a per-attitude self-profile, or drill short scenarios: name the attitude a pilot's response shows, then pick its prescribed antidote.
Safety Locus of Control
A self-insight questionnaire based on aviation-safety locus of control research. Rate 24 statements about why flights end safely — pilot skill and preparation versus luck, weather, and the system — and see your Internality and Externality profile with a full per-item breakdown.
CRM Scenarios
Work through evolving flight-deck situations in two or three steps. At each step you choose how to respond as a crewmember, then see how that response would land with the crew and which CRM principle is in play — authority gradient, closed-loop communication, PACE advocacy, shared mental model, workload management.
