Which item formats are used in the Griffin Hill Integrity Test?

• A. Essay questions and true/false
• B. Matching pairs and fill-in-the-blank
• C. Multiple-choice items, Likert-type scales, and situational judgment scenarios
• D. Oral interviews and performance tasks

Answer: (C)

The item formats used in this test are chosen to reliably and efficiently measure how people think and would behave in integrity-related situations. Multiple-choice items allow objective scoring and quick administration, ensuring consistency across large groups. Likert-type scales capture degrees of agreement or frequency with statements about honesty, reliability, and rule-following, which helps distinguish different levels of integrity-related attitudes. Situational judgment scenarios present realistic dilemmas and let respondents choose how they would act, revealing applied behavior in context rather than just beliefs. This mix provides both solid, scalable measurement and insight into how someone might handle integrity challenges in real life.

Other formats like essay questions and true/false can be more subjective to score and less efficient for large-scale screening; matching or fill-in-the-blank formats don’t directly assess attitudes or judgment in real-world scenarios; oral interviews and performance tasks are time-consuming, resource-intensive, and more prone to bias.
