What are some situational questions that may be asked during a job interview or security investigation?

Can't help you on the 'job interview' side, but if your 'security investigation' refers to a government security clearance, the chances of hypothetical questions is near zero (the closest most questions would come would be the "do you think _______ can be trusted with access to sensitive or classified information?").

If the 'security investigation' is for a non-governmental security clearance - those have their own rules depending on the company or organization.

MSgt James Parker I think it depends on what the job is you are applying for. If you were applying for a job that deals with sensitive information..."You see another employee taking company (or government) classified information out of the office and you know they are not supposed to, what is your first course of action?"

Do you mean like a security clearance interview? They don't ask situational questions. They go over your SF86 and if there's anything that sticks out they'll zero in on that.

My last PR during the interview with the investigator, she asked if I had any interactions with police. I'm not sure why since I have never been arrested nor charge or convicted of anything. I said my only interactions with the police are due to my ex husband and I went through the times I called due to abuse or him stealing my car. Then asked why he had the same address - I said when I filled out my SF86 I had let him move back in. (I was stupid after the divorce and gave him too many chances) but by the time I had the interview he was either back at his mom's or in jail. I can't remember.

But mostly they went through the questions again and asked me about that and really that was it.
