Why take an assessment?

By taking the Bryq assessment, you are able to gather informed insights about: who you are - your unique personality DNA, where you fit - your preferred working environment, along with which types of occupations are a good fit for you and your cognitive superpowers - with tips on the cognitive skills you need to invest in in order to improve your job performance. This information can be used to better understand your strengths and further explore the areas you can further develop in your current role. It will also set you up for success in future opportunities within the organization.  

Here are a few things that you should know about the assessment and how to take it:

What makes you a good software developer, a good tester or a good accountant? We know that people are more than just the sum of their past experiences. Organizational psychology is providing us with a set of proven frameworks that can support our decision-making. It gives us tools to measure personality traits (such as the 16 Personality Factor model) and how these traits match specific job profiles (like the Holland Codes and the Five-Factor Model).

Bryq’s assessment is a scientifically calibrated measurement of both your basic cognitive skills (numerical, verbal, logical and attention to detail) and your personality traits. 

This is not a hard-skills assessment, so you will not find questions that are directly related to your role/area of expertise. This is a general assessment that helps identify the unique combination of personality characteristics and cognitive ability of people to gain objective insights. These insights can then be used to both further increase a person’s understanding of themselves and make informed decisions regarding their developmental and career paths. There is no pass or fail; it is all about how your personality aligns to various occupations.  

Bryq does not provide career advancement decisions, nor does it replace the human part of the process.

There is a lot of context switching between cognitive areas and psychometric questions, much like in everyday life.

Cognitive questions are fairly simple (secondary education level), but there is a time limit. If you do not answer within the time allotted, you simply advance to the next question. Don’t worry if you miss a few questions – most people will get about 50% of the questions right.

Personality questions, do not have a time limit. Remember there are no right or wrong answers to personality questions. What is the right choice between “cooperative” or “assertive”? Depending on the company and the role, the answer will vary. It is important that you showcase your unique personality – a good match will mean a great career.
