How often can I take the Pymetrics games?

Answer:

Hi,

When candidates ask me if they can repeat the Pymetrics assessment to improve their scores, I explain that the system operates on a clear and consistent policy regarding retesting. The games are not like traditional knowledge tests where you can study and improve your score, they are designed to measure stable traits. Limiting retakes prevents candidates from trying to manipulate or 'game' the system, ensuring the assessment yields a reliable, stable behavioral profile.

Pymetrics determines eligibility to replay based on a strict time window. The fundamental rule is that you are permitted to complete the required set of games only once every 330 days, which is just shy of a full year.

This duration is critical because your results are considered a valid reflection of your inherent cognitive and emotional traits throughout that entire period. If you apply for a new position at any company using Pymetrics within those 330 days, your existing gameplay data will be automatically utilized. The system simply re-assesses your stored profile against the specific requirements of the new role you are applying for.

Therefore, you will only be prompted or allowed to play the games again if the mandatory 330-day period has fully expired since your last successful completion. This structure encourages you to respond naturally and authentically from the start, knowing that your original behavioral snapshot will hold long-term relevance for nearly a year.
