Introduction

Thank you for completing our game-based assessment.

At PwC our culture is all about our people. The development of our people is key, and we pride
ourselves on making sure our people continuously give and get, constructive, focused
feedback. We hope this feedback will help you to reflect on your strengths and development
areas and use this understanding to aid your future career plans, irrespective of the outcome of
this application.

Due to the complexity and competitive nature of our career programmes, PwC base
assessment decisions on a combination of criteria which may vary from role-to-role. This
means your specific results from each assessment do not automatically guarantee progression
to the next stage of our recruitment process. The outcome with regard to this stage of the
recruitment process will be provided on a separate email to you.

 
How to Interpret Your Profile
This report was generated by using thousands of data points from your assessment session.
Your game score was not considered for your psychometric profile; it was all about your unique
approach to the scenarios presented. Arctic Shores assessments are grounded in validated
personality and cognitive neuroscience frameworks and use your real behaviours to create a
psychometric profile. Our extensive research has shown this methodology to be a valid and
reliable indicator of how you are likely to behave in the workplace.

There is no one “perfect profile” for all jobs. Each job is different and we support hiring
organisations with extensive analysis to determine which of the psychological characteristics
described in your report are the most important for success in a particular role. Therefore, the
data in this assessment provides a fair and objective set of measures to help organisations
determine your suitability for a role in addition to the rest of your application.

How This Report is Structured

This report is organised into 5 sections that contain a set of unique psychological
characteristics:

• Personal Style
• Cognition
• Drive
• Interpersonal Style
• Thinking Style

Interpreting Radial Results

For each characteristic, the closer the highlighted radial to either end of the scale the stronger
your tendency or ability in that direction. The majority of the population have moderate
tendencies and abilities so fall within the middle radials. In fact, only 1-2% of people fall at the
extreme ends.

Example
You tend to be more likely than others to
seek out social stimulation.
More Reserved More Sociable

In this example, the radial is closer to “more sociable” but this doesn’t mean that you are always
going to behave sociably. Rather, it means that typically, across time and situations, you tend to
behave slightly more sociably than other people in the comparison group. On occasion, you
may want to be left alone!
Things to Remember

• Arctic Shores profiles are very reliable, but they are not infallible. This can be said of any
psychometric test.
• Each psychological characteristic will be valuable in different job roles; there is no right or
wrong, just a measure of suitability for a role.
• This profile report will be considered along with other information about you before a
selection decision is made.
• The report is likely to remain a good reflection of your psychological characteristics for 9-12
months, depending upon personal circumstances.
• These results will be kept confidential but may be used anonymously in aggregation for
analysis and improvement of our products.
