Great Effort

Shared it with some of the people i work with.

Here’s some issues I noticed:

1) Empathize. It’s that it’s quite hard to empathize with the characters on the screen. You just show up in the middle of nowhere and given a task with very little context and character development. Given time to immerse in that world, I felt my actions would be different.

2)Consequences. In real life you might not rudely end a convo with a possibly dangerous person while in the game you can freely do so with no physical or social consequences.

3)Eurocentric. Setting is in a western format. It’s even harder to feel immersed when you’re not from western culture. All kinds of lords and dukes that is completely foreign. A more culturally neutral setting would bring more accurate test results to non-westernized individuals, especially asian cultures which are more contextual given different social settings.

4)POV. Looking at the character from a eye in the sky third point of view, it’s easy to feel that you’re controlling a ‘Sim’ character rather than that character being yourself.

5) Gender. Even choosing the he/him pronouns I am still assigned to a female character. Another roadblock with immersiveness.

Summary: I felt too distant from the playable character to really feel that the actions I compel it to do are actually ‘my actions’. Thus made me doubt the accuracy of the results.

Stunningly clever

I’m an instructional designer and with a long history designing learning am always looking for inspiration that helps me develop my skill set so when I discovered scoutible I had to give it a whirl. Wow!
It has a few drawbacks... mainly that it is US centric and has a way to go with integration but boy is it good at what it sets out to achieve.

I like their roadmap and if all goes to plan I really believe this could be a game changer for anyone interested in gamified strengths assessment.

My one regret? I didn’t think of it first 😞

Strengths resume is a great tool!

Scoutible was able to calculate my strengths and interests spot on. The game was intriguing and I am amazed that it was able to gather so much accurate data in a modest amount of time. I feel confident that Scoutible will help match me with job opportunities that fit my interests, seek my skills, and value my strengths.

Great games... has potential

The first game was wonderfully made and I could see myself getting wrapped up in it. However, I must say that I do not see a correlation with the second game and one’s personality. Avoiding the traps seems to be a matter of strategy rather than intellectual personality traits. I think another interesting thing to add at the end of the two games once you receive your “Team” is to show the percentage of each people that get each different Team, as well as what all of the Teams are so people can explore why they get their Team and how it differs from others. Overall, a very interesting app that I am glad I spent 20 minutes on, and I believe it has potential to be much better in the future.

Hi Jared! Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. We are so glad you had a positive experience with the app and we really appreciate your feedback. Both games uncover both cognitive and personality-driven differences in behavior, but that’s all we can say ;) We love your feedback about showing statistics on teams - consider it in the works! If you have any more thoughts, we’d love to hear them at feedback@scoutible.com.

Much more than a game

I was referred to Scoutible by an employee of theirs, who we’ll call Fletcher. Let’s just say Fletcher changed my life.

The game itself is phenomenal, up there with the likes of Skyrim and Zelda. While challenging at times, it piqued my interest with a racing plot and plenty of choices. I really felt in control, and that’s important to me ;).

More importantly, however, was the post-game analysis. I’ve never felt as understood or seen as I did viewing my results. I am #teamprodigy for life! My wife also played the game, and with our results we were able to communicate like never before. We cancelled our next marriage counseling appointment and decided to use that time for something more productive. We’re now expecting a child next March!

We’re thrilled to hear that you loved the game and your results. We love #teamprodigy! We’re also delighted that you and your wife feel more understood and that your communication has improved. This is the first time we’ve heard of our technology replacing marriage counseling, but we think that “Scout” could be a great baby name ;). Congratulations!

Would like to view jobs that i’d be good at

I feel as if this information is accurate but, I would hope that in the near future they incorporate jobs that would suit you at the bottom of your strengths list.

Impressive

This application analyzes your dialogue and approach to solve challenges. It detects how thorough you are at accomplishing the task with what degree of accuracy. This does in a lot of ways reflect real world skills depending on how seriously you take it. This truly involves zero gaming experience and is just a serious of dialogues like a RuneScape/Skyrim Quest although there are no wrong answers which is where the analysis comes into play. Would recommend for many people to see their strengths in real world scenarios. To have accurate results, take the experience seriously while having fun :)

Interesting analysis - would like more detail

I really like the idea of playing a game and being able to learn one’s strengths. My profile really clicks with me and I feel like it does a good job of representing who I am. However, I’m really disappointed I didn’t get to read info about the other teams and skills. (I couldn’t find this info anywhere, if it is out there I’d love to know! Can you tell I’m team savant?) I want to be able to understand what others strengths can be and what skills they have. I think this could also be a great tool to help teams better work together as they can use it to understand each other’s strengths.

No results

Played the game and little puzzle, was redirected to a loading screen to get results - but it seems stuck loading.

Useful!

I liked it! it was pretty fun and really helpful in deciding what to put in the “skills” area of an application or job website. I really never know what to put there and this was a fun way to maybe discover something about myself while also making a stronger resume!

confused

I downloaded the app excited to see the results but i didn’t get them. The concept of the game is really cool but when it came time for results I just came across a loading screen that never changed. I don’t know if I have to enter an employer code or if i’m just impatient. But yeah, just kind of confused

Innovative Idea

The app is way ahead of its time, and it provides an interesting way to discover more about your leadership/work style. This is a great way to expose qualified candidates to positions that might not have been available to them without a strengths resume. The app is still developing, but it definitely has the potential to transform the way employers hire talent.

Solid

Really interesting concept that is pretty revolutionary. Simple to use and understand and gives good insight that similar products fail to give. Overall I would recommend it.
