Take the free Work Ethics & Reliability test online. Measure dependability, diligence, integrity, and accountability in 20 questions, with an instant, plain-English profile. Built for hiring teams and candidates alike.
The Work Ethics & Reliability test is a JobCannon-built questionnaire that reads four facets of how someone behaves at work: Dependability (do they show up and keep commitments), Diligence (do they finish things well), Integrity (do they hold standards when no one is watching), and Accountability (do they own outcomes instead of shifting blame).
Hiring teams use a read like this as one screening input among several. A 20-question questionnaire cannot replace an interview or a work sample, and it should never be the sole reason to hire or reject anyone. What it does well is surface a shared, plain-English starting point for a conversation, and flag the facets worth probing in person.
Each result maps to a dominant-facet archetype and an overall reliability band, framed as a screening aid rather than a verdict. The same test that a candidate can take for self-reflection is the one a hiring team can send out, so both sides see exactly the same questions and the same honest framing.
