The basics

What is the Work Ethics & Reliability?

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

5 questions

  • Four facets of workplace reliability: Dependability (keeping commitments and showing up consistently), Diligence (thoroughness and follow-through), Integrity (honesty and respect for standards when unwatched), and Accountability (owning outcomes instead of shifting blame). Your dominant facet sets your result archetype and the four together set an overall reliability band.

  • Yes, as one input among several. Send the same link a candidate would take themselves and you both see identical questions and framing. It works well as a conversation starter that flags facets worth probing in an interview. It is never meant to be a sole-decision gate, and the results are framed as a screening aid, not an automatic pass or reject.

  • No. It is a self-report questionnaire about work habits, not a polygraph or a covert deception test. Integrity here means respect for shared standards, one of four facets. A few items are reverse-worded to reduce automatic agreement, but a determined faker can still shape their answers, which is exactly why it should sit alongside an interview and references rather than replace them.

  • Yes, completely free. You get your full four-facet profile, your archetype, and your reliability band with no payment or signup required to see your results.

  • About 4 minutes. It is 20 short statements answered on a five-point agreement scale, from strongly disagree to strongly agree.
