Built on proven science
innerly is built on the Situational Judgement Test (SJT) methodology — a psychometric approach with decades of research behind it. Rather than testing academic knowledge, SJT measures how people actually respond to realistic, ambiguous workplace situations. Meta-analyses confirm that SJT predicts real-world job performance beyond what IQ tests and personality questionnaires can offer, while producing fairer results across diverse groups. By embedding this methodology inside an immersive story, innerly delivers the scientific rigour of a validated assessment with the engagement of a first-person experience.
