Behavior
What you do, not what you say
Assessments ask what you would do. These put you in the situation and score what you actually did. Both run entirely in your browser.
Balloon Risk Task
The published BART, with your questionnaire answer beside it
- Behavioral task
- Adapted task
- No score against other people
Inflate a balloon for money one pump at a time, with a burst point you cannot see. Three minutes, no account. Then it sets what you actually did against the risk appetite you reported on the questionnaire — the two agree less often than people expect.
You learn: What you actually do when a loss is immediate and the odds are hidden — then how far that sits from the risk appetite you reported about yourself.

Interview Simulator
Behavioral loops, scored answer by answer
- Practice environment
- Not a validated instrument
Pick a company loop, get its real framework and round structure, then answer the questions its interviewers are reported to ask. Every answer is scored for STAR structure, first-person voice, and whether an actual number appears.
You learn: Whether your answers hold their structure under time pressure — if you stay in first person, reach a result, and put a real number on it.

Market Simulator
Trade a real bubble without being told which one
- Practice environment
- Not a validated instrument
Real monthly price history with the names changed, so you cannot pattern-match your way out. A newspaper arrives each month with the events of that node rewritten around the fictional companies — the same information a trader would have had, and no more.
You learn: What you do when a position moves against you and hindsight is unavailable — whether you add, hold, or sell, and how that changed month to month.

Why these sit next to the assessments
Self-report has a known ceiling: people describe the version of themselves they intend to be. A simulator catches the gap — how you actually structure an answer under time pressure, what you actually do when a position moves against you. Neither of these is a validated instrument, and neither feeds your psychology profile. They are practice, and the feedback says what it can and cannot judge.
