Am obviously a little bit past applying for graduate jobs, however have heard a bit of news about the use of "pymetric" games during the recent hiring cycle by firms like JP Morgan. Am simply curious - what are they like and what do they involve? Is the alleged personality feedback actually meaningful?
In my head I see a budget version Super Mario and then a score out of ten for "empathy"...

Hey YoungDumbFullOfRum, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your topic! Bummer...could just be unlucky but one of these topics will help shed some light:
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
One of the games gives you $10 and someone else $10. One of you gets an additional $10 (it's always you). Then they give you the opportunity to give them any amount of money or take from them. How much you give/take/don't take affects your fairness score.
Interesting... And does this game only affect the fairness metric, or does it also feed into some kind of "competitiveness" score? When you did it, were you aware that your actions impacted your fairness score or were you simply dropped in media res?
I don't think they showed how your scores changed over the game. At the end you get a breakdown of what they stats they will be getting. There are more than 12 scores so it changes more than one. Sometimes they "connect" you with another player (i'm almost positive it's the program and not an actual person) and you have to judge how fair they played.
Hahaha this is all very bizarre - can imagine it being an absolute mindfuck! Thanks for humouring me, have a SB
