Hydra

Hydra Psychology Trainer: focused training for demanding selection processes

Hydra is your training environment for cognitive performance. It prepares you in a structured way for the psychological aptitude tests used in selection processes at the police, armed forces, special units, air traffic control and other demanding professions. 14 test modules in a clear, calm interface, fully offline, with no ads and no tracking.

The test modules

Logic & Patterns

Matrices, number sequences and paper folding train figural-logical thinking, pattern recognition and spatial imagination (mental rotation), as known from classic intelligence and aptitude tests.

Numeracy & Calculation

Addition (continuous mental arithmetic in the style of the Pauli test), chain calculation under time pressure and equations with missing operators build up your speed and accuracy.

Language

Anagrams and analogies sharpen word finding, word relationships and concentration under time pressure.

Focus

Occluded Motion (predicting movement behind a screen), Stroop (speed and precision under colour-word conflict), d-Test (concentration under time pressure) and Form Focus (targeted marking by shape and feature) train attention and response control.

Memory

The memory test strengthens working and short-term memory by having you hold changing information in mind across several steps.

Personality

The Deep Personality Assessment gives you a structured personality profile for self-reflection.
