How much weight does the IQ test have on a potential offer at AlixPartners ? All my interviews including case went very well but I’m pretty sure I bombed the IQ test.

Not going to lie, the cognitive portion is the most important part to most hiring practice leaders. Yes, it is holistic and experience is very valuable, but the cognitive is table stakes for the firm since our inception.

That said, your view of bombed May be off. Let’s just see how it goes.

Appreciate the feedback!

It’s a holistic process (including the psychometric assessment) so it probably depends on what you mean by bombed. If you got an F-, likely not good. If you got a C+, then maybe the rest carries you through. I don’t know.

Did something happen during the test? Were you not feeling well? Your internet go out? The test was given in German?

If there were extenuating circumstances, maybe reach out? I have no idea if that would help, but if something weird had happened, I would want to say something.

I was sick for a week and was delaying it and ultimately hadn’t practiced enough to get all the tricks down. Ended up guessing on the last 5 or so as I ran out of time. That, coupled with the fact that I’m just not a great test taker (without ample practice) and this had a very GMAT type of feel to it, which I did well on only after practicing for a long time

I felt like I bombed mine but got an offer. I just received my results and I was shocked to see that actually scored above average. You certainly don’t have to get them all right, and may have done a lot better than you think. Good luck!

uplifting

How do we see our results?

I didn’t even have time to guess on the last 4 and got an offer. I wouldn’t sweat it too much. I also thought I crushed the case / Director interview FWIW

If you’re a full standard deviation below, you probably won’t get the offer
