How to Prepare for Integrity Test Questions
Many companies around the world use a computerized integrity test (also called an honesty test) as part of their hiring process. Integrity tests include questions that either inquire about your background or ask about opinions on different subjects to try and detect undesirable character traits.
The challenge in such a test is to figure out what ambiguous and seemingly unrelated questions actually mean and how to answer them in a way that reflects your true values.
This page provides answers to the following questions:
One of the first things you may have noticed is that it is very difficult to determine what this statement attempts to evaluate. You may think this statement is naive and examines the ability to express your opinion directly and honestly and to see the world as it is. However, this statement does not assess honesty or how accurate we are, but our stance on behaviors related to reliability and integrity.
Therefore, the appropriate answer is "agree".

They can also examine problematic personal backgrounds with questions about criminal records, debts, chronic disease, drug or alcohol abuse, etc.
Integrity tests have a time limit, and every question is accompanied by a stopwatch-like graphic that shows the candidate how much time they have left to answer the question. Some tests will allow candidates to answer after the time runs out, while others will not. Your response time for each question might also be recorded to be later used to evaluate your answers.
The statements below are from real integrity tests. While in a real integrity test, you will be asked to answer whether you agree or disagree with the statement, here we aim to help you understand what each statement tests. This is important because understanding what exactly you’re being asked is the true challenge of reliability tests. As such, we included three different statements, each representing a different candidate quality or trait.
