Improve Your Performance in All Pymetrics Games
The Pymetrics Games' two major challenges are understanding the desired outcome of each test and what is being measured and scored. This becomes even more challenging when, in some games, there are no consistent, pre-defined rules.
Our game platform is a perfect simulation of the actual test. Playing each game repeatedly according to your weaknesses and feedback will allow you to master them all, as your agility, perception, emotional intelligence, and additional important traits for the games will improve. This way, the Hard or Easy Game will surely be option #2

Pymetrics FAQ
The Pymetrics algorithm assembles your personality profile by analyzing 91 traits. It is supposedly a bias-free system for assessing candidates. Your behavior is being looked at regardless of your background, gender, race, or what school you went to.
The measured personality, cognitive, and behavioral traits all fall into these 9 categories, as described on the Pymetrics assessment official page:
- Attention
- Decision Making
- Effort
- Emotion
- Fairness
- Focus
- Generosity
- Learning
- Risk Tolerance
Pymetrics Assessment is NOT being scored numerically like you’ve been accustomed to. Every employer that uses Pymetrics will first let their top-performing employees in each position play the same 12 games. Using their performance, a benchmark is being set for each position. A kind of fingerprint of the dream employee. This fingerprint is now set as the “right” score.
The logic behind this strategy is clear. A good salesperson has a different personality than a software engineer. In sales, you need to be outgoing, with good emotional intelligence, whereas in software maybe it’s best to be focused, with high attention to detail and low-risk tolerance.
Every candidate’s personality profile is compared to the benchmark profile of the specific position they apply for. The employer will get a full report for each candidate, with a recommendation as to the candidate’s compatibility with the position.
The Pymetrics games are VERY important. People tend to underestimate them – it’s only a game, what’s the worst that could happen? Little do they know that companies reject a huge part of candidates solely based on these games. This means that if you are not well prepared, you will not get the chance to impress in an interview.
You can only play the Pymetrics games once every 330 days — practically once a year. More importantly, your scores are eligible for ALL companies you apply for. This shows how seriously you have to take these games. You only have one chance to get it right.
The Pymetrics assessment is played online. Your employer will email you with a link to a sign-up page. After creating a user, you must go to the Pymetrics login page, log in to the platform, and start playing the games. After completing the games, your employer will receive a detailed report, including a recommendation.
The Pymetrics games are based on verified psychological experiments. They have been tested again and again, and the more they are played, the more accurate the algorithm gets. Be aware the report you get after playing the games is NOT the same as the one your employer gets. Your employer has quite an accurate concept of your personality.
Around 25 minutes.
The Pymetrics test includes 12 games, each taking 2-3 minutes to complete. You can choose to take breaks between games, but if you don't, it will take about 25 minutes to complete.
