[QUOTE="Kubed, post: 94165, member: 8822"] I completely agree and decided last year that I would avoid applying to firms again that have these sorts of tests. I personally don't think they're a reliable way of distinguishing between people and I don't understand what a firm gains from them in terms of learning about candidates. Maybe I don't know enough about the methodology or how they are interpreted 🤷♂️ I know that graduate recruitment do need some way to filter down the thousands of applications they get but I definitely prefer Watson Glaser or similar tests to the game-based stuff - I understand that they are working from large datasets but I don't see how they can generalise to such specific traits from a couple of activities. I can see how they might work out things like reaction time but judging whether I work well in a team or not seems a bit of a stretch. [/QUOTE]
