Assessments

Assess real-world capability with confidence

Neuroworx combines multiple choice, dynamic scenarios, and open response tasks to measure how candidates think, decide, and perform in real work situations.

Three assessment types

Different formats for different dimensions

No single question type can fully predict performance. Neuroworx combines three formats, each designed to reveal a different layer of capability.

Format 1

Multiple choice

Structured, timed questions designed to assess core thinking ability and domain knowledge. Candidates select the best answer from a set of options designed to test reasoning, not memorisation.

Time pressure reflects real-world decision speed. This provides a reliable baseline of cognitive ability and identifies candidates who process information quickly and accurately.

Logical reasoning Numerical reasoning Pattern recognition Technical knowledge
Multiple Choice Cognitive

QUESTION 12 OF 45

A campaign has a 2.3% conversion rate from 12,000 visitors. If you increase traffic by 40% but conversion rate drops to 1.8%, what happens to total conversions?

They increase by approximately 10%
They decrease by approximately 9%
They stay roughly the same
They increase by approximately 40%
Format 2

Dynamic scenarios

Interactive, scenario-based questions that simulate real workplace situations. Each scenario includes multiple plausible responses designed around genuine trade-offs: speed vs accuracy, commercial vs customer focus, risk vs innovation.

Unlike static questions, there is no single "correct" answer. Multiple options are good, but they differ in effectiveness. This reveals how candidates actually behave under pressure, not how they describe themselves.

Decision-making Prioritisation Communication Stakeholder awareness
Dynamic Scenario Behavioural
Situation

A key client requests a feature that would delay your roadmap by three weeks. Your engineering lead says it is low priority. The client generates 18% of revenue.

How do you handle this?
A Escalate to the CEO for a decision
B Commit to the feature immediately
C Propose a scoped alternative to the client
D Decline and offer a workaround
Format 3

Open response

Free-text and task-based responses that simulate real work outputs. Candidates write strategies, analyse scenarios, draft plans, or compose communications. This is where you see what someone can actually produce.

Responses are assessed against structured scoring criteria focused on quality of thinking, not just correctness. This moves assessment beyond recognition into genuine execution.

Applied thinking Communication clarity Strategic reasoning Execution ability
Open Response Practical
Task

A new competitor has entered your market with a lower-priced product. Draft a 3-point retention strategy for your highest-value customer segment.

Why this works

Each format captures a different layer

Combined, they provide a complete, evidence-based view of candidate capability.

Format Strength Limitation alone
Multiple Choice Measures thinking accuracy Does not show behaviour
Dynamic Scenarios Measures judgement Does not show execution
Open Response Measures output quality Hard to standardise alone
What the combined profile delivers

Assessment integrity

Secure, standardised, and fair

Every candidate takes the same assessment under the same conditions. Neuroworx is built to maintain result integrity while keeping the experience simple and accessible.

Scenario-based questions and open response tasks are inherently resistant to answer lookup. Trade-off decisions cannot be easily searched online, and original thinking is required throughout.

Monitoring

Browser monitoring

Detects tab switching, window changes, and focus loss during the assessment.

4:32

Time controls

Strict timing per section prevents external searching and encourages instinctive responses.

Q3Q1Q7Q4

Randomisation

Question order varies between candidates, reducing the risk of answer sharing.

No setup required

No downloads, no external tools, no account creation. One link, any device.

Candidate experience

Simple, engaging, and relevant

Candidates receive a single branded link. No account creation, no downloads, no friction. Clear instructions set expectations before they begin.

The assessment mixes question types to keep candidates engaged. Realistic scenarios feel relevant to the actual role, giving candidates the opportunity to demonstrate genuine ability rather than test-taking skill.

This matters because candidate experience directly impacts completion rates and employer brand. An assessment that feels like real work attracts better responses than one that feels like an exam.
