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:
ATTENTION: You tend to be methodical in the way you complete tasks and are often thorough and restrained. You may find that you
prefer to focus on accuracy over speed on tasks, and this may support you to avoid making mistakes.
FAIRNESS: You tend to be slower and more critical when judging the fairness of social situations.
EFFORT: You tend to work equally hard on all tasks, regardless of how much you expect to be rewarded by completing tasks
successfully.

DEFINITION
1
A person's approach to managing incoming information and distractions.
ATTENTION
YOUR RESULTS
MOST UNIQUE
You tend to be methodical in the way you complete tasks and are often thorough and restrained. You may find that you prefer to focus
on accuracy over speed on tasks, and this may support you to avoid making mistakes.
WHAT THIS MEANS AT WORK
There are lots of benefits to maximizing accuracy and approaching your work methodically. Keep an eye out for instances where you
might be over-investing time into being accurate and thorough when, in reality, getting the task finished quickly is the highest priority.
THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR
You may work best on tasks that require high attention to detail, where it is more important to complete the work accurately than it is to
complete it quickly.
DEFINITION
2
A person's perceptions of fairness in social situations.
FAIRNESS
YOUR RESULTS
MOST UNIQUE
You tend to be slower and more critical when judging the fairness of social situations.
WHAT THIS MEANS AT WORK
You may do well in environments that require you to be cautious or ‘on-guard’ in terms of ensuring equitable outcomes for you or those
you represent. This could mean that you are comfortable holding others accountable in terms of how work and resources are
delegated.
THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR
Try to take into account the perspective of those you are interacting with. By viewing things from their side, you may be less inclined to
assume a situation is unfair. This can help you to perceive situations in a more balanced way.
DEFINITION
3
A person's approach toward investing effort based on size of reward and probability of success.
EFFORT
YOUR RESULTS
MOST UNIQUE
You tend to work equally hard on all tasks, regardless of how much you expect to be rewarded by completing tasks successfully.
WHAT THIS MEANS AT WORK
You tend to be equally hard-working regardless of the rewards at stake, so you may find that you are able to work well in environments
where rewards and recognition are infrequent.
THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR
Working hard regardless of the reward can be useful, but during busy periods at work you may want to invest less time and effort into
less important tasks, so that you have additional time to complete more important work activities.

A person's approach to changing behavior based on new information.
LEARNING
YOUR RESULTS
You tend to learn quickly from mistakes. You may find it easy to detect patterns in your environment, allowing you to adapt your
behavior and respond to feedback with ease.
WHAT THIS MEANS AT WORK
You may be well suited to work in environments where there is a need to adjust your approach quickly.
THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR
While being able to adapt your response is a great asset, keep an eye out for situations where you might adjust your approach too
quickly based on incomplete or inaccurate information/feedback.
DEFINITION

A person's concentration style for one or more tasks.
FOCUS
YOUR RESULTS
You tend to apply a focused and consistent approach to your work. You are likely able to concentrate on a single task even in the
presence of distracting information.
WHAT THIS MEANS AT WORK
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.
THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR
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.

taking on a high degree of risk while still operating at full speed.

Taking a risk can sometimes have significant consequences. In those instances, you might find talking through your planned approach
with a mentor or peer might help you to get a more balanced perspective.

your work methodically.

You may work best in environments where decisiveness and instinctual responses to decisions are most important. This may enable
you to quickly take advantage of opportunities that are presented at work.

win-win outcomes between yourself and the people you are working with.
