Anyone else who applied for SA class of 2018 have to take this Pymetrics games assessment for CS? Does it have an impact on your application? I took something similar for PwC in the fall, and the recruiter told me it was for data collection and has no effect on your application
Credit Suisse Pymetrics
It is currently unclear how Credit Suisse weighs the results of the Pymetrics test. However, these "games" are repackaged versions of psychometric tests. Test scores are most likely used in conjunction with other applicant information as a part of initial screening. The invitation to to the Pymetrics tests should be sent to you after submitting your application.
The tests should be treated the same as any other psychometric test. You should focus on both speed and accuracy when completing the tests. While there are no right or wrong results there are favorable profiles. The closer you score to there ideal candidate the better. Below is helpful video for taking psychometric tests.

I applied last week but haven't heard anything yet.
When did you apply?
Last week. Not a response it's an online assessment with these random games
You will never really know for sure, but I think it is just to weed out the bottom x% of the applicants, after which your results do not really matter (provided you pass of course).
I just applied today and it automatically gave me a pymetrics assessment... I just don't know if it counts for anything or not
How did you guys get offered this? I applied last week but my application still says "under review" and I haven't heard anything from them. Am I dinged already?
Have you guys done the Pymetrics assessment? What was it like and do we know if it counts for anything?
It's just a bunch of mini-games designed to assess/measure certain traits. It's nbd
why do people even worry about these things? just take it... it's just a bunch of silly games...
Did you receive an e-mail to complete that? because I applied as well but never received any e-mail or anything about taking Pymetrics games assessment.
Me neither. Mine is still under "duplicate check".
I received it immediately after clicking submit. My portal says "Current Status is: Pymetrics Assessment - invited", and it is telling me that I must complete it to move forward with the application process.
I am assuming that they might have some system that triggers it. Maybe if you have enough "Key Words"
Just got invited to do the pymetrics assessment for IBD SA 2018
I got my Pymetrics invite after about 3 weeks for SA 2018 IBD, it was basically a series of games that judged your risk tolerance and stuff. It was just like taking a NCAA concussion test.
I got the pymetrics invite immediately after submitting the application
Yeah me too, I got the e-mail for Pymetrics before the Application Received e-mail for my second choice. It's all attention, trust and risk based mini-games.
I'm not sure how they weigh it, but you have to be very careful about playing the games. I played all of mine tactfully, and the results came back saying I have a dangerously high risk tolerance and little regard for those I work with. I'm not sure how they came to that conclusion, but not sure its what recruiters want to see in applicants.
Could hurt my chances, stay wary.

Is it good sign if you get the test right after applying? or is it just automatic?
It is sent automatically to everyone after submitting your application
it wasn't for me. I had to email an HR because my application was under duplicate check for over a month and then finally I got it a couple of days ago.

Credit cuisse allows us to apply to 3 positions.. do I get to do the online test again?
I took the first one without practicing, was kinda caught off guard
Why can't i find anything about the test on CS site? Can you provide me a link for it please?
Is this for SA already? And for US?
I know they do it for APAC, do they do it for US now or were you applying to Asia?
