It’s largely because there’s no right or wrong answers in the SJT as such. It’s intended to be undertaken as you did, honestly. That’s the whole idea of it, to see what you’re decision making is like and whether you’re a suitable match for the role (could be any role). They often ask the same questions several times in a different way to check that you’re not just saying what you think they want to hear, too.
I’ve found from the numerous variations of SJT/E I’ve done over the years, that there often NOT a ‘silly’ answer as it were, and all are deliberately very similar. The scoring very much depends on what the trend is too as to whether you pass, and just because you don’t, doesn’t mean you’re not cut out for the job necessarily, it just means that the calibre of candidate were generally higher scoring than you. If you score an over all ‘C’ that might be sufficient on one attempt, if most others got CS and Ds, but not sufficient if the majority were exceptional and all got an A. Hope this makes sense.
