The EU welcomes that the Presidential Elections in Sri Lanka, the first
election of this kind for many years, took place in an overall peaceful
environment. The large turn out demonstrates the wish of the Sri
Lankan people to participate fully in the democratic process. The EU
congratulates President Mahinda Rajapaksa on his re-election and
stands ready to work with him and his Government in support of his
objective of bringing sustainable peace to all people in Sri Lanka and
actively engaging in an inclusive process of national reconciliation. The
EU reiterates its concern that a significant number of incidents occurred
during the election campaign. It trusts that the irregularities reported by
election observers and the election commission will be duly investigated
and that the safety and security of all candidates and campaign workers
will be ensured by the authorities.

33. Situational Judgment Tests -
Example
You are working on a complex project when one of the members
of your Unit gives you some negative feedback about your way
of working that comes as a complete surprise to you. You have
never received feedback on this area before and you had
previously considered it a moderate strength of yours. It has
been playing on your mind for the past week as you are keen to
be seen in a positive way by others. Pick the most and least
effective answer.
