Abstract: We described in detail a common development procedure for situational judgment tests. Diverse formats and scoring approaches of situational judgment tests were summarized　and compared. We then examined multidimensional constructs based on the facts that studies on situational judgment tests showed that situational judgment tests were correlated with cognitive ability, personality, and job experience. Directions for future research on SJT (relationships with other constructs, measuring specified construct, factors moderating validity, and cross-cultural comparison) were discussed.

Key words: personnel assessment, situational judgment test, construct validity, cognitive ability.
