pymetrics Easy or Hard practice
Choose an easy task for $1 or a hard one for more money, given the chance of being paid. Then press fast to finish it.
One full free game, then a pymetrics pass ($4.99 for 30 days, paid once) for unlimited practice. Built from a candidate's 2022 recording of the real game plus the published research task it is based on. Screens and wording are ours.
How Easy or Hard works
- Each round shows the chance of being paid: low, medium or high.
- Easy: fewer presses in less time, for $1.00. Hard: many more presses, for a bigger amount.
- Fill the bar with the spacebar before time runs out. If you finish, the chance decides whether you are paid.
- If you do not choose in a few seconds, one is chosen for you. The whole game lasts two minutes.
Time and scoring
2 minutes. Money earned and when you chose the hard task. 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
- Hard tasks take three times as long, and the clock is shared: use them when the chance and the amount are high.
- At a low chance of being paid, easy rounds keep the game moving.
Questions
How many presses are the tasks?
Not confirmed for the real game. Practice uses the published research numbers: 30 presses in 7 seconds and 100 in 21.
