Importance of Situational Judgement Tests

Hi everyone,

I wonder how much influence the outcome of SJT has on online applications for FT IB roles. I consistently score well above other participants in Numerical Reasoning and Deductive Reasoning (Some Banks give you a summary of the test results straightaway) but I "fail" the retarded Chat-box format Situational Judgement Test. What I mean by fail is that it says that I am not the right fit in the test report. I am never selected to proceed onto an actual interview despite showcasing above average capabilities. I find this system flawed. A smart person could simply learn how to behave and fit into company culture after 1-2 hours of introduction when the job starts.

Question: Can someone fail in the application solely because of SJT?

Btw, I have PE internship and Ivy on my resume.

Thank you
