Each Acuity Insights assessment is designed to measure specific personal and professional attributes that help show who you are beyond grades. These assessments give you several chances to highlight your people skills.

For schools and programs, the results provide useful insights that can be used at different stages of the admissions process to support informed decision-making.

Casper scoring

  • Human raters score each Casper test.

  • Each scenario is reviewed by a different rater, which helps reduce bias.

  • Raters are selected to reflect the population of the country where your program is located.

  • All raters go through extensive training and screening.

  • The Acuity Insights team applies strict quality controls to ensure the fairness and accuracy of scores.

How Programs use the Casper assessment

Casper helps evaluate your personal and professional attributes. Programs may use the results at various stages, for example:

  • To filter applicants early on

  • To help decide who gets invited for an interview

  • To prioritize candidates when making final rankings or offers

This approach helps ensure a more complete evaluation of each applicant.
