Cappfinity’s immersive assessments put behavioural and cognitive questions inside one realistic experience. HSBC describes its online assessments as immersive experiences built on real-life scenarios, with graphs or data tables like those you would see working at HSBC, questions that might include audio or visual content, and short video responses. The FCA describes its Cappfinity assessment as strengths-based, with behavioural and cognitive questions on data literacy and logical, numerical and critical reasoning. Deloitte’s Immersive Online Assessment has a behavioural part, where you rank actions in workplace scenarios and answer questions about your preferred working style, and a cognitive part with numerical and verbal reasoning.
Prep sites add detail that no official source confirms. They say the behavioural part is split into five sections, set as days in a new employee’s week at Deloitte and as tiles that unlock in order at HSBC, and that each section opens with information sources such as emails, team chats, charts and short articles, often across several tabs. They report about 32 to 40 questions across the five sections, and situational items with five responses to rank. No answer key, pass mark or weighting between the behavioural and cognitive parts is published.
Candidate Falcon’s practice follows that pattern with two original storylines at fictional UK employers, a professional-services firm and a bank. Each day brings new sources into an inbox that stays open, and mixes behavioural questions, which feed a strengths profile from our own model, with numerical, verbal and critical reasoning questions that are marked right or wrong. Mixing reasoning questions into each day is Candidate Falcon’s design: at Deloitte the numerical and verbal modules are separate, taken in any order, and only one prep site reports reasoning questions inside the storyline, at HSBC. It leaves out all audio and video: every source is written, a table or a chart.
An assessment that mixes behavioural and cognitive questions inside a realistic job scenario. HSBC describes immersive experiences built on real-life scenarios, with graphs or data tables, while Deloitte and the FCA describe a behavioural part, such as ranking actions, and a cognitive part with numerical, verbal or critical reasoning.
No. Real immersive assessments can include audio or video content and short recorded video answers (HSBC, FCA). This practice leaves out all audio and video: every source is written, a table or a chart, and you answer by tapping, ranking or typing a number.
HSBC says its online immersive assessment is untimed and to allow about 50 minutes; its 2025 transcript says around 40 minutes. The FCA says its online strengths-based assessment, the stage this practice matches, is not timed, takes around 40 minutes and does not score the time you take. The FCA uses the word immersive for its later job insight stage, which includes video answers and some timed parts. Deloitte says there is no overall time limit, but some questions are timed and response speed counts. Candidate Falcon’s practice has no time limit. It shows the time you take on each reasoning question; behavioural questions have no clock, and time is not part of any score.
Reasoning questions are marked right or wrong, and you see your accuracy and the time you took. Behavioural questions have no key: they give a strengths profile from Candidate Falcon’s own model, not Cappfinity’s. Cappfinity publishes no pass mark, answer key or weighting, and Deloitte says its strengths report is not the outcome of your assessment.
Cappfinity does not publish a count, and prep sites disagree: 32 situational and personality items in Deloitte’s behavioural part (JobTestPrep), 38 in five sections at HSBC (Intervyo) or about 40 multiple-choice items (GraduatesFirst). Candidate Falcon’s practice uses 25 questions over five days, which is its own length.
No. It is independent practice by Candidate Falcon, based on Cappfinity’s public descriptions, employer guidance and prep-site reports. It is not affiliated with Cappfinity and does not use its questions, storylines or scoring. Real immersive assessments are often set in the employer’s own workplace.
