Round 2 - Aptitude Test 

Tests are Pymetrics and an online case. Pymetrics is a personality test of sorts (risk aversion, pattern recognition, etc.) this was benchmarked against successful Consultants.

If you just ‘pass’, you have to have an internal designation of a high priority or very high priority candidate. (See advice)
