Scoutible: Discover Yourself

Such an intriguing and useful concept, I cant wait to see them develop it further!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 :)

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.

Thanks to the devs for a quick response to my issue! It’s a great app and I’m glad that a trchnical glitch didn’t prevent me from using it!

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

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!
