Based on the most helpful WSO content, here is what you need to know about the Barclays Business Insight Assessment:

1. Business Insight Assessment Overview:

   • The assessment is similar to a situational judgment test (such as SHL or Kenexa).
   • It is designed to put candidates into realistic business scenarios to assess strengths, values, and cognitive abilities.
   • The assessment is untimed but typically takes 35-40 minutes to complete.

2. Stage 1:

   • Candidates watch a series of 2-3 minute situational online videos.
   • Responses to the situations are ranked on a scale of one to five.
   • Includes chart and quantitative analysis.

3. Example Questions:

   • "You have an idea but none of your colleagues support it, what do you do?"
   • "You are invited to a launch breakfast but your friend needs help correcting their pitchbook, what do you do?"
   • Numerical questions involving the examination of graphics (e.g., charts) and answering numeric questions.

4. Preparation:

   • Barclays suggests visiting http://practice.cappassessments.com/</a">practice.cappassessments.com to practice questions that candidates might encounter.

5. Stage 2:

   • Candidates are tasked with a specific project that reflects the business line they applied to.
   • The project includes tasks similar to the work graduates do on the job.
   • This stage takes place over 3.5 - 5 hours and involves an "immersive" task in line with the business unit applied to.
