Pymetrics Games Flashcards

In Money Exchange Game 2 (the Ultimatum Game), Player A proposes how to split $10. If Player B rejects, both get nothing. What trait does Player B's decision primarily reveal?

Answer: Fairness sensitivity and tolerance for inequity

Rejecting an unfair offer even at personal cost reveals strong fairness sensitivity, a trait Pymetrics captures through the Ultimatum Game.

Which Pymetrics game most directly measures your ability to learn and update strategies based on feedback?

Answer: Card Sort Task

The Card Sort Task requires ongoing learning from feedback to detect changing rules, making it the best measure of learning agility.

During the BART, a conservative strategy of always pumping only 1-2 times before collecting maximizes safety but signals what trait?

Answer: Very low risk tolerance

Consistently stopping at very few pumps indicates an extremely risk-averse trait profile, which Pymetrics records and benchmarks.

Pymetrics is built on principles from which scientific field?

Answer: Behavioral neuroscience

Pymetrics games are grounded in behavioral neuroscience research, adapting validated lab tasks to measure cognitive and emotional traits.

In the Arrows Game, congruent trials (all arrows pointing the same direction) are compared to incongruent trials. What does a large congruency effect indicate?

Answer: Significant interference from flanking distractors, showing lower cognitive control

A large congruency effect means flanking arrows substantially slow your response, indicating lower ability to filter out irrelevant information.

What is the approximate total time required to complete all 12 Pymetrics games?

Answer: About 25-30 minutes

All 12 Pymetrics games together take approximately 25-30 minutes, with each individual game lasting only a few minutes.

Can Pymetrics results be shared by a candidate with multiple companies?

Answer: Yes, candidates can share their Pymetrics profile with any employer that uses the platform

Pymetrics allows candidates to share their stored results with other participating employers, streamlining multi-company applications.
