Intervyo's Point72 Wonderlic practice: the instructions screen before the clock starts, giving the number of questions, the time limit and how Previous and Next work, with a Start button. — After the case study, Point72's online assessment is two tests: the Wonderlic, 50 questions on one 12-minute clock, and a behavioral test.

Key facts

Which tests: Two tests: the Wonderlic cognitive test and a behavioral or personality test. They come once Point72 has reviewed your case study, before the virtual interviews.^1,10,11
Wonderlic: Multiple-choice questions on simple math, basic logic, word meaning, spatial reasoning and patterns, on one 12-minute clock, getting harder as you go.^6,7,10
Finishing: Wonderlic does not expect you to answer all 50 in 12 minutes. Its scoring weights each question by difficulty and accounts for guessing, so blind guesses are unlikely to help: if you think you know the answer, mark your best choice and move on.^6,7,8
Calculator: No calculator, dictionary or other resources. Only a few questions need real arithmetic, so do it in your head or on scrap paper.^7,8
Behavioral test: The second test asks about you rather than your reasoning: a behavioral or personality questionnaire in the same online assessment. Answer as you are.^10,11
When: Selected candidates get the online assessment once their case study has been reviewed. In the summer 2027 process word came about a week after the case, and the tests and interviews followed quickly.^1,10
Test link: Wonderlic test links generally stay active for up to 14 days, and an employer can close one sooner, so take the tests well inside that.⁸
Passing: Wonderlic sets no universal pass mark: the employer compares your result with what predicts success in the role. At most you get a feedback report, through a link at the end of the test, and no numerical cognitive score.^8,9

Point72's posting calls this step "an online assessment" after the case study, and its Academy page says interview processes vary by program and region. In the summer 2027 process in New York it was two tests, the Wonderlic and a behavioral test.^1,10,11,3

What the Point72 online assessment looks like

The invite
After you apply, selected candidates get a case study by email. Once Point72 has reviewed it, the next step is an online assessment and virtual one-on-one interviews with the Academy team. In the summer 2027 process word came about a week after the case, and the tests and interviews followed quickly.^1,10
The Wonderlic
Fifty multiple-choice questions on one 12-minute clock: dates, analogies and opposites, number series, short word problems, charts, logic and shapes. They get harder as you go. No calculator, dictionary or other resources. Wonderlic does not expect you to finish, weights each question by its difficulty and accounts for guessing, and advises against skipping around: if you think you know the answer, mark your best choice and move on.^6,7,9,10
The behavioral test
The second test is a behavioral or personality questionnaire in the same online assessment. It asks how you work rather than testing your reasoning, so there is nothing to work out: answer as you are, quickly, and the same way each time a theme comes back.^10,11
After the tests
Next come virtual one-on-one interviews with the Academy team. In the summer 2027 process that meant an HR interview, then a one-on-one with an Academy coach that can feel like a stress test.^1,10

How to spend the 12 minutes on the Wonderlic

Questions 1 to 20 About 4 min: The quicker types: dates, opposites, analogies and short series. Answer at sight, about 12 seconds each.
Questions 21 to 40 About 5 min: Harder word problems, charts and shapes. One line of working, then choose.
Questions 41 onward What is left: Keep going in order. Mark your best choice where you think you know it, rather than stop.

The split is Intervyo's advice, not Point72's. Wonderlic's questions get harder as you go and many people do not finish, so the early questions are where you bank time.^6,7

The sections, one by one

Wonderlic says its cognitive test covers simple math, basic logic, language comprehension, spatial reasoning and pattern identification, and gets harder as it goes. The behavioral test asks about you instead.^6,7,9,10,11

Number series: Find the next number in a sequence.
Analogies and opposites: Complete a word pair, or find the word opposite in meaning.
Dates: Pick the earliest or latest of five dates that look alike.
Word problems: Short math on prices, rates and percentages, without a calculator.
Charts: Pick the graph that matches a short run of numbers.
Logic and shapes: Put people or things in order from clues, or work out which shape fits.
Statements about you: In the behavioral test: how true a statement about the way you work is of you.

Here are the two tests as they appear in Intervyo: the Wonderlic, one question to a screen under one 12-minute clock with Previous and Next, then the behavioral questionnaire, five statements about how you work to a page. The demo gives a short run of each; the full Wonderlic is 50 questions. Each block says what the test is checking and how to do it well.^6,7,10,11

1.Wonderlic cognitive test50 questions, 12 minutes

Intervyo's Point72 Wonderlic practice part-way through: one question with the question number and the countdown clock at the top, a row of answer options with one chosen, and Previous and Next at the foot.

Fifty multiple-choice questions on one 12-minute clock, one to a screen: number series, analogies and opposites, dates, short word problems, charts, logic and shape questions. They get harder as you go, and there is no calculator, dictionary or other help.^6,7,8,9

What it measures: How quickly you take in new information and reason through it: simple math, basic logic, language comprehension, spatial reasoning and spotting patterns.

How to answer it well

1Bank time early. The first questions are the easiest, so answer them at sight and save seconds for the harder ones later.
2Keep to about 14 seconds a question. If a word problem needs more than a line of working, mark your best choice and go on.
3Read every word. Many mistakes come from misreading the question, not from not knowing the answer.
4Do the sums in your head or on paper. Only a few questions need real arithmetic.
5Do not plan a second pass. Wonderlic advises against skipping around, and many people never reach question 50.

2.Behavioral testUntimed in Intervyo, about 10 min

Intervyo's Point72 workplace behavior questionnaire part-way through: five statements about how you work on one page, each rated from Very true of me to Not at all true of me, three answered, the page count and a progress bar at the top, and Continue at the foot.

A questionnaire in the same online assessment that asks about you rather than testing reasoning. In Intervyo's version, the Workplace Behavior Assessment, you rate statements about how you work, five to a page, from Very true of me to Not at all true of me, with no clock, and some ideas come back later in other words.^10,11

What it measures: How you describe the way you work. Intervyo's version scores you trait by trait and checks whether you answer the same idea the same way each time it comes back.

How to answer it well

1Answer as you are at work on a typical good day, and quickly. Second-guessing is what makes answers inconsistent.
2Take a side where you have a view. A profile full of middle answers is hard to read.
3When a statement sounds familiar, it is probably a repeat in other words: answer it the way you meant the first time.
4Do not answer for the job. A pattern bent toward what you think Point72 wants tends to show.

Best guessExpect a questionnaire of about 140 statements and about 10 minutes with no clock, as Intervyo's full version runs.

Example questions and how to answer them

Number series"What is the next number in the series? 7, 10, 16, 25, 37, ___ (a) 49 (b) 50 (c) 52 (d) 54 (e) 55"^7,9

1Write the gaps between the numbers under the series.
2Look for the rule in the gaps: equal, growing by a step, or doubling.
3Extend the gaps by one more step and add it on.
4If no rule shows in 15 seconds, mark your best choice and move on.

Tip: Written by Intervyo in Wonderlic's number series format. Not a Point72 item. Series usually give way at the second layer of gaps.
