The Selection Lab

UCognify consists of two highly interactive games that assess a candidate’s ability to solve complex problems and work with numbers efficiently. The games are designed to keep candidates fully engaged, helping them perform at their best without the typical pressure of traditional assessments. This innovative, game-based approach ensures candidates remain focused and motivated throughout the process. As a language-neutral test, UCognify is ideal for international use, allowing employers to evaluate candidates across different regions and backgrounds without language barriers. The assessment is accessible on any device, offering flexibility and convenience for global candidates. The total duration of the assessment is approximately 7 minutes, including an introductory tutorial to guide candidates through the process.

Measurement Objectives

UCognify measures two key cognitive abilities:

Problem-Solving Skills: The ability to analyze situations, evaluate different strategies, and implement effective solutions to complex problems.
Numerical Reasoning: Competence in working with numerical data, understanding mathematical concepts, and applying these to solve practical challenges.

These cognitive abilities are critical for success in mid- to high-level roles that demand strong analytical skills and attention to detail, making UCognify an excellent tool for assessing candidates in industries such as technology, finance, management, and more.

Use

UCognify is recommended for any mid- to high-level job that requires problem-solving and numerical reasoning. It is particularly valuable in roles that require logical thinking, quantitative analysis, and the ability to make decisions based on complex data. Because UCognify is language-independent, it is especially suited for companies hiring internationally or working with diverse candidate pools. The game-based nature of the assessment also enhances the candidate experience, positioning your company as innovative and candidate-focused, which can be an important factor in employer branding.

Results

The results of the UCognify assessment are presented in a clear and actionable format. Candidates receive percentile rankings, which indicate how their performance compares to a reference group. Each candidate is given an overall percentile score, along with individual percentiles for problem-solving and numerical reasoning. The percentile rankings provide valuable insights into how well a candidate performs relative to others who have completed the assessment, allowing employers to make data-driven decisions in the selection process. Detailed explanations of the results are included in accompanying reports, giving a deeper understanding of each candidate’s strengths and cognitive abilities.

Development

UCognify was developed by a team of psychologists and game designers to offer a unique combination of cognitive science and engaging gameplay. Through this development, UCognify provides a validated method for evaluating critical cognitive skills in an accessible and enjoyable format. The assessment has been rigorously validated to ensure it accurately predicts job performance across a range of industries and job levels. UCognify’s combination of problem-solving and numerical reasoning has been demonstrated to be highly effective in identifying top-performing candidates for roles requiring cognitive aptitude and analytical thinking.
