Private Equity online assessment
Hello everyone. I have an online assessment for a PE internship that includes personality assessment and situational judgement presented as a "simulation". Numerical and verbal should be okay with practice. But when it comes to the personality assessment, what kind of behaviours are sought in PE? I bombed several such tests despite doing well in the numerical/verbal.
Generally, what do they want to see? Someone who is a hardcore hardo who worships work or someone who is a "team member" and stuff of the like?
.
Had to do one for a European LLM once. Overall, they asked 300-400 questions, which then were analysed by a psychologist and a lengthy report was sent to me. Report was the base for the next round, which involved a case study and IC role play presentation.
Questions were nothing crazy or so, some seemed repetitive with slightly different wording (guess to see if you reply different), e.g., what describes your preferred work environment more? And then you could either choose based upon a numerical scale and others upon a verbal scale (strongly agree / disagree).
Numerical / analytical part was very straightforward, not too heavy imho although at the end it was sometimes pressure. Other parts just as that.
Overall, results were quite accurate and I was partially surprised by the assessment (in a positive way). Desired behaviour is difficult to specify, but cultural fit seemed to be as the most important as they considered me smart enough to get on par quick enough. Got the invite after.
Hope that helps.
Edit: was for FT recruiting not internship but might be same standard.
