HireVue games / E-Motions
HireVue E-Motions practice
A face changes from neutral into an expression. Name the emotion.
One full free game, then a pass for unlimited practice. No recording of the real game is public. We built it from HireVue's 2019 announcement of the game; the real screen may look different.
How E-Motions works
- Watch the face move for about a second, then pick one of six emotions.
- Happy, sad, angry, afraid, surprised or disgusted.
- Higher levels show subtler expressions, and from level 30 the face relaxes before you answer.
Time and scoring
4 minutes. In recordings of the real test, a right answer moves you up two levels and a miss or a timeout drops you one. Practice uses the same rule, so a run of right answers quickly reaches hard levels. The 4-minute length is reported by other practice sites, not confirmed.
Tips
- Look at the eyebrows first. Inner corners up means sad or afraid; pulled down means angry.
- Surprise and fear both widen the eyes. Fear stretches the mouth sideways; surprise drops it open.
- A wrinkled nose and raised upper lip is disgust.
Questions
Are these real faces?
No. This is a cartoon practice version with drawn faces. HireVue's game uses short videos of real people from many backgrounds.
What does the real game measure?
HireVue describes it as recognising emotions from faces, part of emotional intelligence.
