On the Amazon Work Style Assessment, you are shown two statements and asked to pick the one most like you. Which response best reflects the 'Customer Obsession' Leadership Principle?
Answer: I prioritize what earns and keeps customer trust above all else
Customer Obsession means leaders start with the customer and work backwards, earning and keeping their trust.
When the assessment asks how you respond to a task with unclear instructions, the answer most aligned with Amazon's expectations is to:
Answer: Take ownership, ask clarifying questions, and move forward
'Ownership' and 'Bias for Action' favor proactively clarifying and acting rather than waiting.
The Work Style Assessment measures your preference for working pace. Which statement best fits Amazon's 'Bias for Action' principle?
Answer: Many decisions are reversible and don't need extensive study
Bias for Action notes that many decisions are reversible (two-way doors) and value speed.
If asked whether you prefer detailed routine work or constantly changing priorities, the most Amazon-aligned response leans toward:
Answer: Being comfortable adapting to shifting priorities
Amazon's fast-paced environment rewards adaptability and comfort with change.
The assessment presents a scenario where you spot a problem outside your direct responsibility. The best response is to:
Answer: Speak up and help resolve it because leaders own outcomes
Ownership means leaders act on behalf of the entire company, never saying 'that's not my job.'
When the test asks about handling feedback or criticism, the response most consistent with Amazon's culture is:
Answer: I welcome being challenged and view criticism as a chance to improve
'Have Backbone; Disagree and Commit' and 'Earn Trust' value being self-critical and open to feedback.
On a personality item about goals, which answer best reflects Amazon's 'Insist on the Highest Standards' principle?
Answer: I set and continually raise high standards even when others think they're too high
This principle says leaders have relentlessly high standards that many may think are unreasonably high.
