pymetrics uses tools developed by the global behavioral science community based on decades of research to measure individual differences in cognitive, social and emotional attributes. We measure these traits on an objective scale, rather than through self-reported information. Because people are complex and predicting human behavior is hard, multi-trait assessments create a more accurate representation.

Fit-based system

Imagine if Netflix used Rotten Tomatoes scores to recommend movies to people—everyone would get the same recommendations. This is what traditional tools like IQ tests do.

Rather than assuming attributes of a job or person are always good or bad, we recognize that every role and candidate is unique -- and everyone has a fit.

Finally, we ensure that what we measure is relevant to jobs using industrial organizational science best practices. Our job-specific models utilize data collected from strong performers within a specific company. Then we perform job analyses and local job validation to ensure our models predict success on the job.
