✍️ Sample Mettl Questions & Answers

1. In situational judgment tests (SJTs) on Mettl, candidates are asked to:
Choose the most and least effective response to a workplace scenario

SJTs present realistic workplace scenarios and ask candidates to rate or rank response options by effectiveness, measuring judgment and behavioral tendencies.

2. A sum of money invested at compound interest amounts to ₹800 in 2 years and ₹840 in 3 years. What is the rate of interest per annum?
5%

The amount at the end of 2 years is ₹800, and at the end of 3 years is ₹840. The interest earned in the third year is ₹840 - ₹800 = ₹40. This interest is on the principal amount of ₹800 (the amount at the beginning of the third year). So, Rate = (Simple Interest * 100) / (Principal * Time) = (40 * 100) / (800 * 1) = 4000 / 800 = 5%.

3. What is the primary purpose of an API (Application Programming Interface)?
To enable different software applications to communicate and share data

An API defines rules and protocols for how software components communicate, allowing applications to exchange data and functionality.

4. A candidate consistently chooses responses that present themselves as perfect or without flaws in a personality test. This pattern likely indicates:
Social desirability bias / impression management

Consistently choosing perfect/ideal responses suggests social desirability bias — presenting oneself favorably rather than honestly. Mettl tests include validity scales to detect this.

5. Five people A, B, C, D, E are sitting in a row. B is to the right of A, D is to the left of E, and C is between B and D. Who is sitting in the middle?
C

Working through constraints: A-B (B right of A), D-E (D left of E), C between B and D. Arrangement: A, B, C, D, E. C is in the middle (3rd position).

6. Which of the following is the BEST example of a well-defined behavioral indicator for the competency 'Teamwork'?
Actively solicits input from other team members and shares information and expertise to help them achieve common goals.

A well-defined behavioral indicator must be observable, specific, and measurable. 'Is a good team player' and 'has a friendly attitude' are vague and subjective. 'Successfully completes projects' is a result, not the behavior itself. The correct answer describes specific, observable actions ('solicits input,' 'shares information') that define what effective teamwork looks like in practice.
