All applicants had the same task.
The task requires both math skills and social skills.
They played a simple math game as a team with a randomly paired undergraduate student.
They played a simple math game as a team with a randomly paired undergraduate student.
An applicant played as a leader and their partner played as a team member.
You can make a guess of their score even if you don't know the details of the game. If you want to know the details, click the following button.
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 team earns one point (Team Score).
After the game, the leader (applicant) decided how to divide the team score between the two of them
;the leader has the power to reward or punish their team member.
The team member solved the problems.
While the team member (partner) solved a problem, the leader (applicant) 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 (Personal Score).
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 math skills and social skills would earn more points.
Your job is to guess what is Team Score and what is Personal Score,
based on the leader's scores from the math test and social skill tests.
