Situation Adaptability Evaluation
for Management Personnel
This test has been designed to evaluate reactions of management
personnel to various situations. The situations are based on actual
case studies from a well-known educational institution and represent
a cross section of test data correlated to evaluate both reaction and
time to difficult situations and the soundness of each decision selected.
There are several multiple choice questions. Read each question thorough-
ly. Place an "X" by the answer you feel is most correctly justified by
circumstances given. Be prepared to justify your decision (there are
no definitive answers). The correctness of your answers will solely be
judged upon your ability to justify them.
You have 3 minutes.
Do not continue with this test until told to do so. (Do so!)
1. You have prepared a proposal for the regional director of purchasing
for your largest customer. The success of this presentation will
mean increasing your sales to his company by 200%. In the middle of
your proposal the customer leans over to look at your report and
spits into your coffee. You:
(A) Tell him you prefer your coffee black.
(B) Ask to have him checked for any communicable diseases.
(C) Take a leak in his "out" basket.
2. You are having lunch with a prospective customer talking about what
could be your biggest sale of the year. During the conversation a
blonde walks in the restaurant and she is so stunning that you draw
your companion's attention to her and give a vivid description of
what you would do if you had her alone in your motel room. She walks
over to your table and introduces herself as your client's daughter.
Your next move is to:
(A) Ask for her hand in marriage.
(B) Pretend you've forgotten how to speak English.
(C) Repeat the conversation to the daughter and hope for the best.
3. You've just spent the evening with a supplier who invited you to an
all night boiler-maker drinking party. You get home just in time to
go to work. You stagger to the men's room and spend the next half
hour vomiting. As you're washing up in the sink, the sales training
director walks up, blows his cigar in your face, and asks you to
join him for drinks after work. You:
(A) Look him straight in the eye and launch one last convulsion at
the front of his Hart Shaffner & Marx suit.
(B) Nail him right in the crotch, banking of the fact that he'll
never recognize your green face.
(C) Grasp his hand and pump it until he p's his pants.
4. You are at dinner with a customer and his wife, who looks like the
regional runner-up of the Marjorie Main look-a-like contest. Halfway
through dinner you feel a hand on your lap. Being resourceful you:
(A) Accidentally spill hot coffee in your lap.
(B) Slip a note to the waiter to have your customer paged and see
if the hand goes away when he does.
(C) Excuse yourself and go to the men's room. If he follows, don't
come out until your shorts rot.
5. You've just returned from a trip to Green Bay, Wisconsin, in January
and tell your boss that nobody but whores and football players live
there. He mentions that his wife is from Green Bay. You:
(A) Ask what position she played.
(B) Ask if she's still working the streets.
(C) Pretend you're suffering from amnesia and don't remember your
name.
