At Bryq, we know one size does not fit all, so why should a talent assessment? We've created five versions of our assessment to best fit your hiring needs.

  • The Express assessment has a nominal duration of 12' and includes 20 cognitive questions and 48 personality questions.

  • The Standard assessment has a nominal duration of 20' and includes 30 cognitive questions and 64 personality questions.

  • The Personality Only assessment has a nominal duration of 7' and includes 64 personality questions and no cognitive questions.

The main difference between Express and Standard is that Express offers a slightly reduced accuracy in return for a shorter duration.

So which assessment should you use?

Express - created for hourly and frontline workers

Use this when: cognitive skills are not as crucial as personality traits.

The setting for this assessment is a Supermarket chain, making it a good choice for hourly positions, such as cashiers, retail associates, shipping and warehouse, and hospitality workers.

Standard - default for all positions
Use this when: cognitive skills are not particularly important for a position, or when specific skills will be tested via another assessment or in person, later in the interview process.


The setting for this assessment is an entertainment production company, which works for any role, especially typical white collar roles (accountants, developers, marketeers, etc.).

Personality Only - best for roles where only personality traits matter

Use this when personality traits are the only things that matter for the job role. Personality questions gauge candidates on work style, teamwork, social skills, and overall personality.

📌 Cognitive Only & Extended assessments are deprecated and available only to customers who were using them already.
