Pymetrics

A game-based behavioural assessment — roughly a dozen short cognitive and behavioural tasks over 20-25 minutes — used by several banks (J.P. Morgan among them) as an early screen. It measures traits such as risk appetite, attention and effort under uncertainty rather than finance knowledge, and there is no way to revise for it beyond doing the practice round properly and not rushing.
