The number you see in the middle of the doughnut pie chart is the simple average of these scores. If you hover over the various sections of the donut, you will see the % breakdown of each score given.
The percentile score in the title is calculated across the entire Company Database and uses an adjusted score based on Bayesian Estimates (to account for companies that have few interview insights). Simply put, as a company gets more reviews, the confidence of a "true score" increases so it is pulled closer to its simple average and away from the average of the entire dataset.

2. Internal recruiter phone interview/screen
3. IQ test
4. Case Study
5. Office interviews
The call with the internal recruiter focused on my past experiences, why I was interested, what did I know about the position, and what did I know about CarMax. Friendly, light conversation just to make sure that I could string a sentence together. This is meant to be a laid back work environment so avoid at all cost coming off as arrogant or a jerk.
Next round was an IQ test. I had up to a week to complete it and a practice test is made available. There are other practice tests available for free if you search. I did and recommend doing 2-3 others just to make sure you are comfortable with the format and timing (time is limited and I think most do not finish).
The third round was a technical case study via phone. I believe most people take this in person but I was not located in Richmond. The interviewer read a scenario then asked me a question. The answer was then used for the next portion. At the end you've built a recommendation in which, based on the results of a future theoretical consumer study, you'll purchase land 1 and/or land 2 for a new dealership. Wording is extremely important and intentionally tricky. You'll need to do math (Ex. 9 / 0.4) but are asked to not have a calculator.
