Free Diagnostic Tool

Behaviour Checker

Paste your EO, HEO or SEO behaviour answer and get an instant diagnostic score based on real Civil Service sifting experience. Find out exactly where you stand before you submit.

Scored like a real sifter. This tool is calibrated to score conservatively — the same way an assessor would on a busy sift day. A score of 5 or above means your answer is genuinely strong. Most answers score between 3 and 5. If yours is lower, that is useful information to have before you submit.

Indicative only. This tool provides an automated diagnostic score to help you identify strengths and weaknesses. Only a human reviewer can give a definitive assessment of your answer. If you want certainty before you submit, book a behaviour review.
