Welcome to Bryq!

If you are here, you have probably been invited to take one or more of the Bryq assessments. This means that your prospective employer has put an equitable process in place, where objective data is used to evaluate applications on job-related merit. By participating in this inclusive process, you are helping create a diverse work environment while ensuring that you have a better career outlook from the get-go.

Establishing fit

What makes someone excel as a software developer, tester, or accountant? It's not just past experience or technical skills—or even personality alone. True success is shaped by a combination of cognitive abilities, behavioral tendencies, and skills. Organizational psychology offers evidence-based frameworks that help us evaluate this broader range of attributes. These tools go beyond personality traits to also assess how individuals think, solve problems, and adapt to the demands of a specific role.

Depending on the position, you may be asked to complete:

The profile fit assessment that measures your personality traits and cognitive attributes (such as numerical, verbal, and logical reasoning and attention to detail).
One or more skill assessments that evaluate job-relevant capabilities like interpersonal skills, project management, digital tools, or technical knowledge.

Bryq does not provide hire/no-hire decisions, nor does it replace the human part of the process.

What’s the Structure of the Assessments?

Bryq assessments are designed to reflect real workplace tasks — mixing reasoning, behavior, and skills in short, focused formats. Depending on the type of assessment you're asked to take, the structure may vary slightly. Here's what to expect:

1. Profile Fit Assessment (Psychometrics)

This assessment measures your personality traits and cognitive attributes — helping employers understand how your thinking and behavioral preferences align with the role.

Cognitive questions test attention to detail, numerical, verbal, and logical reasoning. They’re designed to be simple but timed — to see how you respond under light pressure. If you don’t answer in time, you’ll simply move to the next question.
Personality questions are untimed and don’t have “right” answers. You’ll be asked to choose which behaviors describe you best (e.g., “cooperative” vs. “assertive”). There’s no ideal personality — the goal is to find roles that match how you work naturally.
Questions alternate between cognitive and personality sections — just like in real work, where you shift between tasks and people.

2. Skill Assessments

These short assessments focus on specific hard, soft, hybrid, or job-specific skills — depending on the role you're being considered for.

Here’s what the structure usually looks like:

Time: Most assessments take under 15 minutes
Format: 10–15 multiple-choice questions, often based on real-world scenarios
Content shuffling: Question and answer order may vary between participants
Scoring: You’ll often have one clearly best answer — especially for technical or task-based items. In soft skill assessments, the goal is to understand your judgment and approach, not trick you.

Some skills assessments include sub-skills (e.g., “communication” might include active listening, clarity, tone), but all are designed to be fair, focused, and practical.

Timer Activation

The timer starts when the question page loads. For media-based questions, click the button right away to use your full response time.

Tools Allowed

Use of external resources or assistance is not allowed, and copy-paste functionality is disabled. However, you are encouraged to have a pen, paper, and calculator handy.

Device

You can use any modern device, including smartphones, laptops, and tablets. Just make sure your device has a screen large enough for comfortable reading.

Camera

Bryq occasionally captures short audio and video clips during the assessment for employer verification of test integrity.

The Interview

If you’re invited to interview after completing your assessment, your interviewer will likely have access to your results — including insights into your strengths, working style, and skill profile.

This means the conversation can go deeper than a typical interview. Instead of asking generic questions, the interviewer can focus on topics that matter most for the role and get to know how you might thrive in the team.

It’s also a chance for you to ask questions, share more about your experience, and make sure the position feels like the right fit for you.

The goal isn’t to quiz you — it’s to have a more meaningful and productive discussion, built on shared insights.

Each assessment is short and focused. Approximate durations are: • Profile Fit: The estimated completion time is approximately 14 minutes. However, since not all sections are timed, the actual duration may vary depending on your pace. • Skills assessments: 10–15 minutes each You may be asked to take more than one, but most companies keep the total experience under an hour.

That depends on the type of assessment: • In cognitive assessments, you’ll see multiple-choice questions about numbers, logic, and language. • In personality assessments, you’ll choose statements that best describe your work style. • In skills assessments, questions are based on real-life workplace scenarios or tools — like handling a customer issue, understanding data, or responding to a team communication.

Each assessment is short and focused. You’ll see a series of multiple-choice or scenario-based questions, depending on the skill or topic being measured. • Some questions are timed, while others are not. • Some assessments may include audio or job-specific situations to reflect real workplace tasks. • You’ll always be told what to expect before starting. The structure is designed to be fair, consistent, and easy to follow — with no surprises.

If you’ve been invited to take more than one assessment, you’ll see all assigned assessments listed on your main assessment page. The assessments are not connected — finishing one will return you to the main page, where you can begin the next. Once all required assessments are completed, you will be able to view more insights.

Once you’ve answered all the questions in an assessment, you’ll be prompted to submit your responses. ⚠️ If you choose to end the assessment early — before answering all questions — any unanswered questions will be marked as incorrect, which may negatively affect your results. So be sure to complete the full assessment before submitting.

No — Bryq uses content shuffling and variation to ensure fairness and reduce repetition. You may see different versions of the same question, or questions presented in a different order.

Usually, no — unless the company specifically invites you to retake it. But remember: you’re not expected to be perfect. These assessments are used as one part of the hiring process and highlight your potential, not just your performance on a single test.

No. Once you submit an answer, you’ll move forward and can’t go back. This keeps the flow similar to real-world decision-making. 🔉 However, if a question involves audio, you'll be able to replay the clip — but only during the time window set for that question.

No. Once you begin an assessment, it needs to be completed in one sitting. Make sure you have enough time and a stable internet connection before starting.

If a question is timed and the time runs out, you’ll automatically move to the next one. Don’t worry — missing a few won’t harm your chances. Time limits are part of measuring how you work under light pressure.

To ensure a smooth and accurate experience, please have the following ready: • A stable internet connection • A quiet space without distractions • Your sound turned on, especially for questions with audio or other media content • A supported device: • You can use a mobile phone, but we recommend a device with a screen larger than 9 inches (like a tablet, laptop, or desktop) so that all content is clearly visible 💡 Important for Typing and 10-Key Typing Assessments: • You must use a physical keyboard — typing on a touchscreen is not supported • For 10-Key Typing, a numpad (numeric keypad) is highly recommended to ensure accuracy and proper speed measurement These assessments are designed to measure real-world typing skills, so using the right tools is essential for fair and valid results.

In some cases, yes — the employer may ask you to enable your webcam during the assessment for verification or monitoring purposes. If this is required, you’ll be clearly notified before the assessment begins. Your microphone will also be activated by us at random times throughout the process. 📷 Camera access is never automatic — you’ll be asked to grant permission, and nothing will be recorded or shared without your knowledge.
