NATO HireVue games: what to expect and how to practise
Candidates' recordings of NATO's 2027 internship assessment show five games: Digitspan, Disconumbers, Numerosity and Shapedance, then Portrait (only its opening was recorded). That is about 12 minutes of timed play, plus Portrait with no clock. Your own invite lists your games, so check it first: employers change their set.
The games
What this set tests
Three of the four timed games lean on numbers and working memory (Digitspan, Disconumbers, Numerosity); Shapedance is the visual one. Portrait has no right answers and no clock.
How to practise for it
- Play each game once in full here (free, no sign-up) and read its rules.
- Every timed game starts at level 1: a right answer moves you up two levels, a miss or a timeout drops you one. Accuracy matters as much as speed.
- Replay the game where you reached the lowest level, then run the whole set back to back in the mock test (part of the 30-day HireVue pass, $4.99 paid once).
