Harver tests / Multitasking
Harver Multitasking practice
Two quick-switch games. Compare each card with the last one, then judge numbers and letters by where they appear.
One full free game, then a Harver pass ($4.99 for 30 days, paid once) for unlimited practice. Built from Harver's own candidate help pages for this module. Harver does not publish its items, so all content here is ours.
How Multitasking works
- Part 1: remember each card's shape and colour. Compare it with the card before: both the same, Yes; one of them the same, Partially; neither, No.
- Part 2: a number on top is Yes if it is even; a letter at the bottom is Yes if it is a vowel. Otherwise No.
- Each part has a practice round, then sixty seconds to get as many right as you can.
- Harver's help page says the stage starts with one of two multitasking games; practice gives you both.
Time and scoring
About 3 minutes. Harver reports a score against other candidates: 50% is average and most people land between 30% and 70%. We have no comparison group, so practice shows your raw numbers.
Tips
- In part 1, say the card to yourself as it appears ("red star"); then you only compare two words.
- In part 2, look where the sign is before what it is: the place tells you which rule to use.
- Keep going after a mistake; the count of right answers is what grows your score.
Questions
Can I take the Harver multitasking test if I am colour blind?
Harver's help page says patterns are available instead of colours. Our practice cards use patterns as well as colours.
How long is each Harver multitasking game?
Sixty seconds each, after a practice round, according to Harver's help page.
Other Harver tests
Harver games are the pymetrics games: Balloons, Digits, Towers and nine more.
