After this page, you will have three questions to check whether you understand your job.
You will have up to three chances to solve the problems. If you don't answer all three problems correctly,
you will get only the participation fee and cannot get additional payments.
You can take notes if you want.
Please read carefully the following to answer the questions on the next page.
Cognitive Skill Test
They had 5 minutes to solve up to 20 multiple-choice math questions.
They added up sets of five two-digit numbers. For example,
What is the answer for 15+25+95+12+32?
They had four choices for each question. For example,
(a) 177 (b) 179 (c) 181 (d) 185
They got one point for each correctly answered question.
After the multiple-choice problems, they had another 5 minutes to solve up to 20 short-answer math questions.
Again, they added up sets of five two-digit numbers and got one point for each correctly answered question.
Your job is guessing what is each applicant's score for short-answer math questions.
Social Skill Test
To test social skills, they made four kinds of group decisions.
For each group decision, they were randomly paired with one undergraduate student.
At first, they made their decision without any communication with their partner.
And then, they made their decision with communication:
They could send any message to their group member. The group members can send a binary response, "Thumbs Up" or "Thumbs Down."
Their payoff was decided by both their own choices and the group member's choices.
You will be shown whether they got paid more when they could communicate.
Ideally, applicants with strong social skills would earn more when they can communicate.
Your job is guessing how their payoff changed with communication for other similar tasks.
Combined Skill Test (Cognitive Skill + Social Skill) Test
They played a simple math game as a team, with a randomly paired undergraduate student.
The math game is called Twenty-Four. Four numbers are given, and one point is earned if they fill out operators correctly to make 24.
For example, if " 9, 3, 2, 1" are given, they can get to 24 by filling out operators, "9*3-2-1=24."
They had 5 minutes to solve up to 20 questions, and could pass on any question if needed.
For each correctly solved problem, a group earns one point.
After 5 minutes, the leader decided how to divide the group score between the two of them.
An applicant from the resume played as a leader.
The team member solved the problems.
While the team member solved a problem, the leader could not see the numbers they were given.
However, the leader could send a message to the member to improve the performance and the member could react to that by sending "Thumbs Up" or "Thumbs Down."
For example, they could ask the team member to pass on the question if it took too long.
Or, they could incentivize the member by promising to pay them more for performance.
After the member solved each question, the leader graded whether the member was correct.
If the member was correct and the leader correctly graded that the member was correct, the leader got an additional 1 point for themselves.
If the member was wrong and the leader correctly graded that the member was wrong, the leader got additional 0.5 points for themselves.
Ideally, applicants with both strong cognitive skills and social skills would earn more points.
Your job is to guess what is the group's earnings and what is the leader's additional personal earnings,
based on the leader's scores from the cognitive test and social skill test.
