pymetrics games / Digits
pymetrics Digits practice
Digits flash one at a time; type the sequence back. It grows by one when right and shrinks by one when wrong.
One full free game, then a pymetrics pass ($4.99 for 30 days, paid once) for unlimited practice. No official rules are public. We built it from the published research task it is based on and what candidates and other practice sites consistently report.
How Digits works
- Digits appear one at a time, quickly. When they stop, type the whole sequence and press Enter.
- Right: the next sequence is one digit longer. Wrong: one digit shorter.
- Three wrong answers end the game.
- Practice starts at four digits, as in candidates' reports.
Time and scoring
About 3 minutes. Longest sequence and how many you got right. pymetrics does not mark answers right or wrong overall: it builds a profile of traits and compares it with people who do well in the role. How that turns into a decision is not public. Our result shows practice measures only.
Tips
- Group digits as they come: 4 8 1 5 becomes 48, 15.
- Say the groups in your head in rhythm rather than picturing the digits.
- The instructions ask you not to write anything down; practise without paper.
Questions
How long do sequences get?
As long as you keep getting them right. Most people top out around seven to nine digits.
Are there backwards rounds?
Candidates only report forward recall for pymetrics, unlike HireVue Digitspan.
