View Test Result

Once the assessment has been completed, you can view the result in the "Assessments" tab:

The main score on each card shows the total score for that specific assessment. For psychometrics, this reflects the combined scores of the logic and personality tests. For interviews, it shows the respective scores. The Role Fit score displays the combined scores of all assessments completed up to that point.
