Every candidate is Unique
Every Brght test is Unique


The Brght Test dynamically adjusts the difficulty of the test to each candidate's abilities. As a candidate progresses through the test, the Brght algorithm selects each subsequent question based on their previous answers.

This adaptive approach ensures everyone experiences a similar sense of achievement, regardless of their initial skill level. Everyone is challenged, but no one is left behind.

Good candidates like to be challenged at their level in a screening test.

Valid results with a test of only 30 minutes? Yes it is possible.


In traditional testing, a one-size-fits-all approach often leads to unnecessary questions. Long demotivating tests without valid results are not uncommon in screening tests. High level candidates get questions that are far too easy, while weaker candidates get questions that they will never know the answer to. Not only is this one-size-fits-all approach demotivating for the candidate, but most of the questions in these tests give almost no extra information about the intellectual abilities of the candidates.

By tailoring each question to the candidate's ability level, Brght significantly reduces the number of questions needed to obtain valid results. This method is based on the principles of Item Response Theory (IRT), where the focus is on maximizing the information gained from each question. Instead of presenting items that are either too easy or impossibly hard, the test dynamically selects questions that will give the most information about the specific candidate.

This apprach ensures every question contributes valuable insight into the abilities of the candidate, making the test not only time-efficient but also highly accurate in assessing each individual's capabilities.

Our test is divided into three sections: Numerical, Logical, and Spatial questions, designed to assess different cognitive abilities. To ensure accessibility and minimize cultural biases, the questions demand minimal proficiency in English and academic knowledge. Rigorously tested, each question has been answered by over 2000 individuals, ensuring their high quality and enabling precise analysis of statistics such as difficulty level and discrimination index.
