Online Assessment (OT)
What It Entails
The HSBC Online Immersive Assessment is a psychometric assessment that evaluates candidates through a combination of cognitive and behavioural tests . It is typically administered by Cappfinity and contains around 38 questions in total .
The assessment is divided into:
Component Description
Cognitive Abilities (approx. 16 questions) Numerical reasoning and verbal reasoning tests
Situational Judgement Test (SJT) (approx. 22 questions) Workplace scenarios where you rank or select the most/least effective responses
Key Features
The test is generally untimed
SJT questions are calibrated against HSBC's core values (the "HSBC Way")
Questions present workplace scenarios and ask you to rank responses from most likely to least likely to reflect your behaviour
Some versions may include personality profiling questions
