im applying to work at Kmart, and they have a question: "You are busy working.
A coworker approaches you and asks for your help for a moment.

What would you be MOST likely to do?"
My brother in law works at walmart, and they have a policy that you do not help a coworker when it is your lunch break.

what is kmarts policy?

Help the coworker when I am able.

Stop what I am doing and help.

Tell the coworker that I can't help.

Arrange a time when I can help the coworker.

Pretend that I did not hear the request.

answer later

I don't, but I definitely have some bad memories about KMart...my then boyfriend didn't come from the best part of town, so his mom would shop there frequently. They didn't have that much money and that was fine with me.

But seriously, they were treating people like criminals. there were men at the door checking your purchases while looking at your receipt.

The purpose of those tests are to find out your personality.  Why don't you just answer what you would do.

There's no point to lying on those tests.  If you answer the questions more toward trying to tell them what they want to hear, you'll create standards you can't live up to, and being fired looks worse on an application than not getting a job.
