HireVue games / Singularity
HireVue Singularity practice
A crowd of shapes with one odd one out. Tap the shape that differs.
One full free game, then a pass for unlimited practice. No recording of the real game is public. We built it from the description in a 2023 research paper by HireVue staff; the real screen may look different.
How Singularity works
- All shapes but one are the same.
- The odd one differs in colour, shape or direction.
- Higher levels add more shapes and leave fewer differences, down to one subtle change.
- Tapping the wrong shape costs the level.
Time and scoring
3 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.
Tips
- Do not read shapes one by one. Look at the whole grid and let the odd one stand out.
- When only direction differs, compare where the 'point' of each shape faces.
- On late levels the colour change is small; scan with your eyes unfocused a little.
Questions
Is this exactly the real game?
The paper says the task is finding one unique shape among more and more distractors, with fewer distinguishing features as it goes. That is what we built; the look is ours.
How long is the real game?
Three minutes, according to the paper.
