[QUOTE="TortillaTC, post: 213955, member: 40677"] Literally the same thing happened to me except I scored 1/9 in applied intellect lmao, but 776 in the other three and high in both verbal+numerical. Curious how they assess these versatile scores, I’m guessing they check every VI answer separately to get a better view of candidates’ real potential. I talked to some people in the past days and apparently RS has progressed people with very low scores before so I assume they don’t have a strict cutoff for Amberjack like other firms do. In any case: verbal and numerical are completely separate, they’re just the results of your answers in the multiple choice. How you rank the scenario Qs is what gives you x/9 for the 4 areas, and since every Q concerns at least 2 areas, your answers can block each other out. You can get 7 for one area but 0 for another based on what your most and least likely options were. I personally think this kind of testing makes absolutely NO sense and it’s just a way of filtering people out. Picking the “wrong” options for a number of Qs shouldn’t decide one’s career because it’s simply not representative of anything but a momentary decision. Of course they have to make a decision somehow on whom to progress but I’d literally prefer if they were just more selective in the first round.. [/QUOTE]
