What the Visual Matching Test measures
Visual Matching is a game-based test of visual scanning and matching speed under time pressure. Two cards of eight symbols always share exactly one symbol, and candidates click it as quickly as they can. Wrong clicks count as errors, so the test measures the balance of speed and accuracy as well as sustained attention.
Visual scanning
Searching two sets of symbols quickly and systematically.
Attention to detail
Telling apart symbols that look alike.
Speed with accuracy
Working fast without clicking before checking.
Sustained attention
Keeping focus for the whole seven minutes.
Why organisations choose game-based assessment
Engaging for candidates
Short, interactive tasks that candidates enjoy, which helps your employer brand and completion rates.
Quick to complete
Each game takes 7 to 10 minutes, making it easy to use early in high-volume recruitment.
Measures real ability
Games measure the same abilities as traditional tests, through tasks rather than questions.
Familiar reporting
An Assessor Report and a Candidate Report, just as with our other tests.
Reports
Results are reported in the same way as our other tests: an Assessor Report showing the candidate's score band (Very Low to Very High) with interview questions, and a Candidate Report with no scores, giving supportive development advice.
Who it’s for
Visual Matching is designed for entry-level to graduate roles where checking at speed matters.
Warehouse and logistics
Assess visual scanning and checking at speed for operational roles.
Administration and data entry
Find people who balance speed with accuracy over sustained work.
Customer service

Scan one card at a time
Pick a symbol on the left card and look for it on the right.
Check before you click
Errors lower your score, so make sure it really is the same symbol.
Find a rhythm
A steady pace usually beats bursts of speed followed by mistakes.
