Game-based Assessments

Our qualified in-house business psychologists have been developing psychometric tests for over 10 years. They push for innovation and are regular lecturers at Birkbeck, University of London. Our psychologists have developed advanced expertise in the latest psychometric methods including item response theory including the Rash model. Our expertise means we are often used by other psychometric test publishers to help them build or improve their psychometric assessments. By working with Test Partnership you get industry-recognised expertise from qualified business psychologists.

Our psychologists use the latest psychometric test models including item response theory (IRT) to ensure accurate test scores. Our assessments have industry-leading reliability and validity properties, so you can have confidence in the outcomes. The results you get from our assessments have been demonstrated through research to be highly accurate which means you get actionable insights into your candidates' performance. By working with Test Partnership you get confidence in your data.

All our assessments have robust evidence to prove they do not adversely affect protected groups. Our test development process includes trialling our questions on tens of thousands of participants from mixed backgrounds, and our research shows 'Cohens d' effect sizes better than industry best-practice. You can use our assessments safe in the knowledge that they are fair and inclusive.

Research, including large meta studies, has repeatedly shown that cognitive ability is the strongest predictor of workplace performance (Schmidt & Hunter, 1998). To find the best employees you need to assess for cognitive ability, and Test Partnership assessments accurately measure cognitive ability at every level. Cognitive ability correlates with job performance better than any other indicator including interviews, past experience, and degree classification. By using our ability tests, you can confidently identify the best candidates and predict future success.

Game-based assessments can actually measure cognitive ability better than traditional assessments and therefore can better predict job performance. This is closely related to the fact that gamified (i.e. animated, complex, multifaceted) assessments have high g-loading and tap into a person's innate mental horsepower.

So gamified assessments are not just a gimmick (well some poorly made ones are, but not well-researched ones like ours); they are used because they work. Employers are embracing this new technology, and those who do can get to the best candidates first.

Unlike most traditional ability tests, MindmetriQ™ game-based tests are equally accessible on mobile and tablet devices as they are on desktop or laptop computers. Traditional ability tests, especially numerical reasoning tests which include dense graphs or tables of information, are very difficult to fit on a small screen, limiting accessibility. MindmetriQ™ however, has been designed from scratch to be 100% mobile compatible so you can use any device.

Four of the games (Net The Numbers, Number Racer, Pipe Puzzle, and Shape Spinner) are easy to translate into other languages. We currently offer these in English, español and français. The word games (Word Logic and Link Swipe) are much more difficult to translate, we only offer these in English.

Yes, it's easy for us to customise the branding, colours, layout, logo, URL, and format of our game-based assessments to meet specific your needs. This can range from a relatively simple colour change, to a complete redesign of the assessment, and everything in between. Customisations come at extra cost, so it's best to discuss this with us.
