What is the primary purpose of the Griffin Hill Integrity Test?

• A. To evaluate technical job skills and job performance history.
• B. To audit past legal compliance with external agencies.
• C. To assess honesty, reliability, and risk of misconduct in job-related contexts through integrity scales and situational items.
• D. To measure cognitive ability and memory through timed tasks.

Answer: (C)

The test is designed to predict how someone is likely to behave in a job setting by looking at honesty, reliability, and the risk of misconduct. It does this through integrity scales that measure traits related to trustworthiness and dependability, along with situational items that present real-work scenarios and ask how the person would respond. This combination targets propensities for counterproductive behaviors rather than what someone can do technically, how well they remember things, or whether they’ve complied with laws in the past. In short, it’s about forecasting future workplace conduct to inform hiring decisions, not about evaluating skills, past legal audits, or cognitive abilities.
