The Cubiks PAPI (PAPI 3+ & PAPI-I) is designed to evaluate key personality traits and work preferences. This assessment provides crucial insights into how well a candidate aligns with a company's values and work culture.
The main challenge of the PAPI test lies in its nuanced approach to assessing personality. It's not just about what you say, but how you say it. The way you respond can significantly influence your candidacy, making it essential to understand the subtleties of the questions and what they reveal about you.
To navigate this challenge effectively, we've developed a specialized PrepPack for the Cubiks PAPI Assessment. Our preparation course includes:

There are versions of the PAPI test by Talogy – PAPI 3+ and PAPI-I.
In the PAPI-I Cubiks, there are pairs of statements regarding your work preferences. From each pair, you will need to choose the one that most describes you.
The assessment is untimed and shouldn't take more than 25 minutes.
For Cubiks PAPI 3+, the goal is to understand your typical work behavior. You will need to rate work-related statements from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree) and should be able to complete this part of the test in 20 minutes (The test does not include a time limit).
Here you will find free PAPI sample questions taken directly from our preparation. In the preparation, you'll find PAPI Personality questions tailored to the type of position you're applying for.
So whether you’re applying for an engineering, financial analyst, or manager position, we have you covered.
Cubiks PAPI-I has 90 pairs of statements. In each pair of statements, you will be asked to choose one that you feel most describes you or how you feel at work. There will be pairs in which both statements fit you, and there will be pairs in which none of them describes you. Nevertheless, you must choose one, so pick the statement that you feel is most like you.
Examples of role scale statements look like this:
I get along well with everybody |
I make things happen through careful planning |
Note: The JobTestPrep Practice test does not have questions in this format.
PAPI 3+ consists of 162 statements regarding work-related behaviors and preferences. You will be asked to rank each statement on a scale of 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree).

The PAPI sample report provides an analysis of PAPI test results using its 8-factor categories with a ranking from 1-10 on each sub-factor. The purpose is to get a full picture of the candidate's strengths and weaknesses.

When you start the test, you'll get instructions before each section to help guide you. But be careful, some instructions can be misleading. The point of the test is to give the employer a sense of your work habits and attitude, so try to answer the questions with that in mind.
Some examples of misleading instructions are "just be yourself", "there are no right or wrong answers", and "give the first answer that comes to mind". Instead, try to highlight qualities that match the employer's expectations and present them in an honest yet sensible way. Don't exaggerate or lie, as it could make your answers seem inconsistent.
It's also a good idea to practice the test questions beforehand to calm your nerves and avoid any surprises. Personality tests may not test your job skills, but they can still be challenging. Practice will help you get comfortable with the format, questions, and answering style.
When answering the questions, try not to provide extreme answers, like answering every question in the same way. It's best to consider each situation and question individually. Also, make sure to stay relaxed and focused during the test to get accurate results.
