SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP®) practice questions: the prompt for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

You are writing exam-style multiple-choice practice questions for me. I am preparing for SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP), set by SHRM. Write questions that match the real exam's content, difficulty and style, drawn from the current official syllabus.

Write 20 questions. Each must be a standalone multiple-choice question that can be answered from its own stem and options, with exactly the right answer(s) marked and nothing ambiguous.

Set each question's `topic` to one of these names, copied exactly (same words, same capitalization; these are the only topic names the import accepts):
- Leadership Cluster (subtopics: Leadership & Navigation; Ethical Practice; Inclusive Mindset)
- Interpersonal Cluster (subtopics: Relationship Management; Communication)
- Business Cluster (subtopics: Business Acumen; Consultation; Analytical Aptitude)
- People Knowledge Domain (subtopics: HR Strategy; Talent Acquisition; Employee Engagement & Retention; Learning & Development; Total Rewards)
- Organization Knowledge Domain (subtopics: Structure of the HR Function; Organizational Effectiveness & Development; Workforce Management; Employee & Labor Relations; Technology Management)
- Workplace Knowledge Domain (subtopics: Managing a Global Workforce; Risk Management; Corporate Social Responsibility; U.S. Employment Law & Regulations)
Where subtopics are listed, set `subtopic` to one of them; otherwise choose a short, specific `subtopic` of your own or leave it out.

Spread the questions across the topics in the real exam's proportions, about:
- Leadership Cluster: 4 (19% of the real exam)
- Interpersonal Cluster: 3 (13.5% of the real exam)
- Business Cluster: 3 (17.5% of the real exam)
- People Knowledge Domain: 4 (19% of the real exam)
- Organization Knowledge Domain: 4 (18% of the real exam)
- Workplace Knowledge Domain: 2 (13% of the real exam)

Give each question exactly 4 options. Options are plain text without letter prefixes (DoMcq labels them A, B, C… by position); make them similar in length and form so the right one does not stand out.
Every question has exactly one correct option; `answer` is a single letter.
Never use these as an option: "all of the above", "none of the above". Avoid "both A and B" style options too.

The real exam has two kinds of item, and the set must have both:
- Situational judgment items: a realistic workplace situation, all in the stem, ending with a question that asks which action or approach to take; every option is a plausible course of action, and only the most effective one is correct.
- Knowledge items: a direct question on HR knowledge, or on a key concept of a behavioral competency, with one correct answer.
Write stems the way the real exam does, for example: "Which approach should the company take to retain and attract talent?"; "Which action should an HR manager take to implement a newly developed corporate social responsibility and sustainability program?".
Write about four in five of the questions under the Leadership Cluster, Interpersonal Cluster and Business Cluster as situational judgment items and the rest as knowledge items; write every question under the People, Organization and Workplace Knowledge Domains as a knowledge item. On the real exam one scenario can carry two or three questions; here each question stands alone with its own complete situation.
Write at the level of the SHRM-CP, which SHRM sets for HR professionals in operational roles.
Keep each stem concrete and free of trick wording. Do not refer to other questions, images, tables or exhibits.

Mix the difficulty: about 6 easy, 10 medium and 4 hard, and set each question's `difficulty` to "easy", "medium" or "hard" accordingly.

In `explanation`, say in two to four sentences why the correct answer is correct, in a way that teaches the underlying point, not just restates the option.

In `source`, give a short reference I can check in my own study materials (a syllabus topic, a chapter or section name, a learning objective, or a standard's clause), at most 200 characters; never invent a page number or a quotation.

Leave out `rationales` and `id`.

Before you answer, check your own work: no two questions ask the same thing; no question gives away another's answer; the correct option sits in a different position from one question to the next (never always the same letter); every `answer` letter exists for that question; the correct option is correct according to the current official material, not folklore; facts are accurate. Fix anything you find.

Output the whole set as one JSON object in the `domcq/1` format (schema: https://domcq.com/schema/v1; this is the import format of https://domcq.com):

```json
{
  "format": "domcq/1",
  "exam": "shrm-cp",
  "set": "SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) practice – [a short name for this set]",
  "questions": [
    {
      "stem": "[the question, 10–2000 characters]",
      "options": [
        "[option 1]",
        "[option 2]",
        "[option 3]",
        "[option 4]"
      ],
      "answer": "B",
      "explanation": "[why the correct answer is correct, 1–3000 characters]",
      "topic": "Leadership Cluster",
      "subtopic": "[optional, more specific]",
      "difficulty": "medium",
      "source": "[a reference I can check]"
    }
  ]
}
```

Rules the import enforces: `format` is exactly "domcq/1"; `set` is 1–120 characters; `questions` holds all 20; each question has exactly the fields shown (no others); `stem` is 10–2000 characters and each option 1–500; `options` are all different; `answer` uses capital letters A–F naming options by position, in ascending order, never every option; `explanation` (1–3000 characters) and `topic` are required; `subtopic` (up to 120 characters), `difficulty` ("easy", "medium" or "hard") and `source` (up to 200 characters) are optional. Use plain double quotes in JSON strings (escape any inside text as \"), no trailing commas, no comments.

Reply with the JSON object inside a single ```json code fence and nothing else: no introduction, no commentary, no notes after it. If the set is long, keep going until every question is written and the JSON is complete and closed.
