Well, you can't judge what you may or may not have done correctly by just the one question. They look for consistency in the answers to similar questions. The most ethical response to that question is B) tell the supervisor, otherwise Tommy could create a safety hazard that could cause a fire or injury.

The correct way to deal with those questions is to ask what the company wants. The company wants electricians who follows code. Anything that deviates from that would be unethical.

I had an ethics test when I sought employment for a brokerage. Being a computer programmer there's all sorts of mischief one could create if one were deceitful. I passed because I just answered honestly. Also helps that we had a business ethics course in college as part of my computer science curriculum.

Some examples of Code of Ethics:

So, next time you apply for an electricians job, do a little research about the company to see if they have a code of ethics. That could help guide you with the answers.
