Preparing for the interview

The insights from this questionnaire can serve as a starting point for enhancing management effectiveness.

The game 'Barista' is about recognizing facial expressions to measure emotion perception, which is the ability to notice and identify emotions. This psychometric game lets you show your skills in an exciting virtual environment. The evaluation is based on measurable performance, ensuring fairness and accuracy while reducing the chance of giving socially desirable answers.

In the game, you are a barista who needs to serve customers the right drink as quickly as possible. You must recognize the customer's emotion and choose the cup that matches that emotion. Then, you prepare and serve the drink. At first, there are only a few customers, but it gets busier over time.

The TMA Capacity Analysis

The Capacity Analyses of the TMA Method provide a good perspective on a candidate's intellectual level, serving as a predictor of performance in jobs requiring abstract thinking and quick understanding. The norm groups for the TMA Analyses are scientifically compared every two years with norm groups at middle and higher levels.

The Logical Figurative Understanding analysis consists of 15 questions. In this analysis, the candidate is presented with a series of figures or matrices per question, each following a certain logic that the candidate must identify.

The Logical Numerical Understanding analysis consists of 26 series of numbers arranged according to a specific pattern. The candidate must understand that the systematic changes in numbers can occur through addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Sometimes, two or more of these operations co-occur in a sequence. The sequence always continues with one number.

The Logical Language Understanding analysis consists of 20 questions. In this analysis, the candidate is shown a combination of two words per question that are logically related. Additionally, a third word is shown, and the candidate must find a fourth word that relates to the third word in the same way as the first pair of words. These are language analogies.
