pymetrics approach
100,000+ data points collected as candidates and existing employees play games

11 categories aggregated across your results from all pymetrics games

1 unique pymetrics profile per person used to apply to any role at any company using
pymetrics

HOW YOUR PROFILE IS USED

Your pymetrics profile describes your cognitive and emotional results and how you compare to the general population. It will never be shared
directly with employers or other third parties.

For a particular job application, candidate results are compared to the results of existing employees in that role. For different roles, different
categories may be more or less important for success, which guides a candidate’s fit to that role.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR RESULTS

pymetrics categories measure natural tendencies that are quite stable and tend not to change over time. Because of this, your profile will be saved
for one year, after which you will have the opportunity to replay the games if you choose.

Remember, this is your personalized profile and it will stay the same no matter what job you are applying to.

Uniqueness is the measure of how much you stand out from the general population within a pymetrics category. These are your most unique
categories:

GENEROSITY: You tend to trust the good intentions of others. You may find that you’re able to easily balance your interests with the
needs of others.

RISK TOLERANCE: You tend to be willing to take risks. You may also respond more quickly with less concern that things may not go as
planned.

QUANTITATIVE REASONING: You tend to solve numerical and logical problems with precision.

A person's approach to managing incoming information and distractions.

on accuracy over speed on tasks, and this may support you to avoid making mistakes.

might be over-investing time into being accurate and thorough when, in reality, getting the task finished quickly is the highest priority.

complete it quickly.

presence of distracting information.

You may be best suited for work environments in which it is better to focus on one task at a time. However, you may likely be able to
work effectively in distracting environments, given your natural tendency to filter out distractions and stick to the task at hand.

Be mindful of situations where you could become too focused on a task. Sometimes distractions can present opportunities to support
others with their work or get involved in interesting tasks that you might otherwise have missed.

less important tasks, so that you have additional time to complete more important work activities.
