Bryq is able to measure personality traits, cognitive attributes, work competencies and culture. In other words, it can assess all the attributes considered essential for identifying the ideal job-person fit, all within a single unified assessment. Bryq’s match score translates into the standardized 1-10 STEN scale (Fit Score), providing a more comprehensive benchmark for each talent when compared to local and global comparison groups.

Combined predictive power

Years of research have highlighted that the key predictor of job performance is the combination of cognitive and personality assessments. Bryq applies this approach to predict job performance accurately - thereby reducing turnover risk, fostering talent development, and cultivating a motivated, high-performing workforce dedicated to the organization's success.

Bryq evaluates personality traits, leaning on the 16 Personality Factors framework¹. 16PF is closely related to the Five-Factor Model (O.C.E.A.N)² but unrelated to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator framework (MBTI)³, which is not suitable for career choices. Bryq has validity and reliability studies that are regularly updated.

Cognitive attributes

Bryq uses scenario-based questions to measure a candidate’s cognitive skills. More specifically, Bryq measures the ability to understand and draw logical conclusions from numerical data (numerical reasoning) and the ability to comprehend and critically evaluate written information (verbal reasoning). It also measures the ability to solve problems rationally based on observed patterns (logical reasoning), as well as the ability to recognize details and patterns in large amounts of information (attention to detail).
