Cheers
I'm going worst case assumption; no one will be looking at them over the weekend so best to have it there for Friday morning

Are there any practice questions once you click the link to start the assessement?

Is the verbal thing the good old SHL stuff, yes, no, or can't tell?

Good luck everyone

I'm hearing there's been a lot of pilots not at work today after the Qtalent requests went out.

Good luck folks.

It's different. Run by TalentQ, owned by Korn Ferry Hay Group. There is a practice test on their website.

The real thing - it's a real son of a b.

Just curious, has everyone who applied got the invite for psych and video? i.e. are there any out there still waiting on the email for this?

Does anyone know what Qantas is after regarding the Talent Q results? Accuracy? or just pure amount right/irregardless of amount incorrect?
I.E at the end of the 75sec timer, if unsure of the answer should one guess? or leave it blank?

Thanks.

I received my email around 5pm EDST on Tuesday.

3 days from then would be 5pm Friday, so that's when I'll be having mine done by.

3 days is very stiff, they obviously want a plain snap of everyone with very limited prior study.

Well, they say with these psychometric and personality tests, you can't really prepare for them. You either have "it", or you don't.

Well that was fun!!

Video interview went ok, but in golfing terms I barely got past the ladies tee with the numerical reasoning.... #disaster!!

Still, have to maintain a sense of humour about these things

I'm led to believe the psychometric tests are designed such that you will walk away thinking you have butchered it so chin up lads. If you get a Q right the next question will be harder and vice versa so if you found it hard it may be because you were getting the questions right.....or the other one.

I look forward to it!
Didn't like the set questions in the interview, afraid to use some examples in case a better fit question arose later

Relax - if YOU found it hard, so did the next guy, and the next guy, and the next guy etc etc


You all probably did as well as each other. Good luck.

HI SNOGH ,

I just did the test and it well much better than i thought that to be. Basically Logical reasoning wasnt that bad after all . Just follow the sequence from Left to right & top to bottom. As for Verbal it wasnt that hard and for numerical it was general mathematics using Grade 8-10 maths. I had one % question , one ratio, couple of currency change , few simple addition and subtraction etc .
Good Luck .

Also my numerical testing froze on me for 20 seconds . I did manage to take a video of it as a proof but then again it reloaded itself . it happened to me on Q8.
