If you want to game the personality test Google a 16pf. If you want to give them an idea of who you really are just take the test, there is no way to prep for it. As for the cognitive eval read the directions.

The personality test reminds me of the old Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. "I think most people are inherently evil and out to do me harm". Strongly agree, agree somewhat, strongly disagree. Things of that nature. Some of my friends who work at Virgin and took the Spirit test say that the Spirit test isn't nearly as difficult as the one they had to take at VX. The cognitive test shouldn't be too much of a problem if you've taken the SATs at some time in your life. Don't sweat it if you don't finish in the allotted time either. I haven't talked to anybody that completed the whole thing, and I don't think they expect you to either

The personality assessment is a 16-PF test. The email tells you as much.

Both tests are straightforward, and timed. The 16PF is used to gauge what type of personality traits you have. Answer each question honestly, and you will be fine. The 16PF time limit is more than ample.

The Thurston test (cognitive) is designed to see how well your brain works at problem solving while switching between math problems (number sequences, pattern recognition, basic math skills), and verbal problems (word define, etc.). There are 126, or so, questions on the Thurston test. The goal is to answer as many as you can, so don't spend too much time on any one question because you only have 20 minutes. You won't be able to answer all of the 126 questions on the Thurston, but don't sweat it. 60-80 problems answered on the Thurston, with a good ratio of correct/incorrect responses, is a good target. If you go higher than 80, you are probably in the wrong business!

RELAX, and good luck.

Thanks for the heads up. Did you use Lumosity at all for the test?
We do a similar test upon returning from a deployment in the Air Force, they use it to gauge any measure of traumatic brain injury or degradation. I may go volunteer to take one in anticipation of doing a cognitive test.
'Course I gotta get a call from Spirit first, but that's just minor details, eh? :-D

Congrats on getting the call by the way!

I did not prep for either test, as there is very limited info available on their format.

It is hard to say what would help, but studying anything with vocab and reasoning problems would be a good start, and don't forget number patterns ( i.e.- "1,3,5,7...What is the next number in the sequence?" GRE, SAT, ACT type study guides may be useful.

Luminosity might be ok, but I would not buy a membership.

Take the test in a quiet, private place. Family at home can be a big distraction which might lower your score.

Has anyone taken these on line tests within the last two or three weeks, and then got called in for an interview?

A little help please...

I just recieved an E-mail from Spirit stating that I had recently submitted an online profile and resume for the position of Pilot. As part of the recruitment process, please complete the detailed application and return it as soon as possible.
Is this the step prior to getting the cognitive test thing and call for an interview? "That is if they like what they see". If not were am I in the order of things?
