I have no previous work experience
How about you truthfully answer the question and not ask strangers for answers?

That occurred to me, too. One question in anticipating potential questions in an interview is one thing. Asking everyone else to give you answers for an online form so you get an interview is something else. I won't be so mean as to say, "If you were qualified for the job you are seeking, you'd know which answer to select," but yeah.

Besides, it's not going to do any good to bluff through an online test. If you can't think on your feet for that, you probably won't get past the interview. If you do get past the interview, it won't take long for an observant supervisor to notice that you don't know what you're doing and fire you.

I answered them truthfully I just wanted to know if this is one of the tricky questions and If there is something behind it. Sometimes they ask you questions but they want you to answer with a different answer, that's all...

The problem is that people aren't attempting to cheat; how they would really address the issue is not an available answer. So RELAX! Answer the question.

You are best to answer these questions yourself and honestly. The reason is they ask the SAME questions (reworded and in different forms) multiple times.

So if you are not being truthful, it WILL be detected.

For example "When a coworker breaks the rules, I typically:" might be at the front of the test. Then towards the end of the test might be something like "When driving and late for work, it is ok to go faster than the speed limit: 5 mph, 10 mph, 15 mph, not ok to go over speed limit."

That second question has to do with following rules as well. So if you say you get upset at someone breaking the rules at work, but later say it is ok to go 15 mph over the speed limit (breaking a rule), that is inconsistent as to how you feel about following rules.

These tests can be quite sneaky!
