What is the structure of the Pymetrics assessment?

Answer:

Hi,

When it comes to the structure of the Pymetrics assessment, it's designed to be a comprehensive but brief experience. Think of it not as one long test, but as a series of 12 distinct, fast-paced challenges that together form a complete picture of your cognitive and emotional traits.

The specific games you'll encounter include the Pymetrics Tower Game, the Stop Game, the Arrows Game, the Balloon Game, the two-part Money Exchange 1 & 2, the Hard or Easy Task Game, the Keypress Game, the Cards Game, the Lengths Game, Digits Memory, and the Faces Game.

Collectively, these dozen games take about 25 minutes to complete. Crucially, each individual game is quite short, lasting roughly 2 to 3 minutes. This format is deliberate- it keeps you engaged and requires you to respond genuinely and quickly. While you cannot pause mid-game once it has started, you are allowed to take short breaks between games.

The whole structure is engineered to measure your inherent behavioral style by observing how you tackle these game-like tasks. It's about seeing your natural approach to problem-solving, decision-making, and adapting under slight pressure, rather than testing acquired knowledge. Approach the sequence with focus and a clear mind, and let your authentic style shine through in each quick challenge.
