This workshop will give you guidance to prepare you to take the test and a chance to try out one example scenario. In the test, each answer you give will determine which question will follow as you work your way through the scenario. Think of it like a flow chart where each answer you give opens up new possible options to take. Because there are many possible routes to take through each scenario you might complete the scenario in a minimum of two questions, or it may take you up to seven questions. But, the most important factor is not how few, or how many, questions you may have been asked, but the thought processes you use when responding. Consider your proposed action in each case. Does it meet the tests of HONESTY, OPENNESS, TRANSPARENCY, FAIRNESS? If not, which of the answers offered comes closest to achieving this? Each question will have three possible answers, one of which will be characterised as 'Good', one as 'Indifferent' and another as 'Bad'. The characterisation of each response as Good, Indifferent or Bad, is not intended to convey a judgement upon the answer, but rather to indicate a relative order against one another. In certain circumstances all the available answers may seem quite good, or possibly quite bad, but in each case one answer will be identified as the best of the three, and one as the worst. You will now be shown one example scenario which look like the scenarios in the actual test. In this example scenario you will receive feedback after each answer you give; however, please note that feedback is not given in the actual test. Some 'top tips' to help you when taking the test:
There is a lot of information to take in, so take your time and read things twice if needed.
If possible, turn off your phone, close your email inbox and dedicate some quiet time to focus on the test. IntegrityMatters is not like a regular exam, but is still a test, and requires concentration
Choose the option that you would choose in real life. It's designed around real scenarios, so ask yourself 'what would I do?' rather than 'which of these options will help me pass the test?'
During the test, think carefully before making your choice. Once you have selected and clicked on your answer, you will be unable to change the answer you have given.
