Gamified assessments, used by Unilever, HSBC, BT Group
Arctic Shores creates gamified psychometric assessments that measure cognitive ability, personality, and behavioural traits through game-like tasks. Their assessments are designed to be bias-free and are used by major employers as an alternative to traditional aptitude tests, measuring over 200 data points per candidate.
Example questions in the style of this publisher's assessments.
Balloon Task: You have pumped 12 times and earned 12 points. Average burst = 20 pumps. Do you pump again?
The BART measures risk tolerance. The optimal strategy is to stop at ~50-60% of the average burst point. At 12 pumps (60% of 20), you're at the optimal stopping point. The game measures your pattern across many trials.
You cannot directly practise Arctic Shores games, but understanding what they measure helps you approach them naturally.
The games measure cognitive ability (working memory, attention, processing speed) and personality (risk tolerance, impulsivity, persistence).
Play naturally. The algorithms detect when candidates try to game the system.
Ensure a stable internet connection and play on a laptop/desktop, not a phone.
You cannot directly practise Arctic Shores games as they are proprietary. However, you can improve the underlying abilities: working memory (dual N-back tasks), processing speed (reaction time exercises), and risk calibration (probability games).
Arctic Shores claims their gamified assessments reduce adverse impact compared to traditional cognitive tests. Their research shows smaller score differences between demographic groups.
