What Is the IntegrityFirst Assessment Test?

The IntegrityFirst Assessment Test is a fast, science-backed screening tool that measures a candidate’s honesty, accountability, and attitude toward risky behaviors like theft, drug use, and hostility.

Unlike traditional assessments, it uses overt, direct questions—built on the behavioral science of cognitive dissonance—to reveal whether candidates normalize misconduct.

This means applicants engaged in unethical behavior often self-identify, even when asked directly.

For example, a candidate might agree with a statement like “Lying is sometimes necessary to get ahead” without realizing how strongly that reflects on their workplace integrity. That’s the power of the test—it brings hidden risks to light before you waste time interviewing.

Stop Wasting Time on High-Risk Candidates

The IntegrityFirst Assessment Test is a fast, overt behavioral screening tool that helps hiring teams disqualify high-risk applicants before the interview. Designed using the psychological principle of cognitive dissonance, the test prompts candidates to reveal risky behaviors such as theft, substance abuse, and dishonesty—even when directly asked.

Why does it work? Candidates engaged in ongoing misconduct often normalize those behaviors. This test makes it easy to flag them—and filter them out early.
