Pymetrics / Harver
About 12 short games in about 25 minutes. One attempt a year, and the result follows you to other employers.
Format
- Harver describes 12 or more short games that take about 25 minutes in total.
- The games record how you play: risk taking, attention, memory, effort and how you learn from feedback. Harver lists traits such as risk tolerance, focus, fairness and generosity.
- Your play is compared with a profile each employer sets up, so there is no single high score to chase.
Rules to know
- Plan on one attempt a year. Candidate guides report that the games lock for 330 days after you finish them.
- In that period the same profile is passed to other employers that use the games. Your first attempt counts for every firm after it.
- If something goes wrong, contact the employer. Prep guides report that only the employer can approve a redo.
Where practice helps
Helps
Knowing what each game asks before you start, so the first minutes are not spent reading rules. Speed and accuracy on the attention and memory games improve with a few practice rounds.
Does not help
The balloon, cards and money games have no correct answer. Practising them to hit a number can push you away from how you would normally play, which is what the profile is built on.
