Many students drop out or click through, so the result says little. 02 ### Self-report has blind spots Answers depend on self-insight and on what people think they should say, which is often weakest right when they choose a path. 03 ### Short has to stay serious NeuroBlitz answers a hard question: how short can an assessment get and still produce information you can stand behind? YOUR BENEFIT ## What NeuroBlitz does for your institution For universities, schools, study and career guidance services, chambers and event organisers. ### Participation instead of drop-out Two minutes fit into every open day, every lesson and every stand visit. In our playtests, short, playful formats were taken up far more readily than questionnaires. ### Better guidance conversations The result gives study advisors, career services and teachers a concrete starting point, instead of beginning every conversation from zero. ### Impact you can report A dashboard shows plays, completions and click-throughs to your offers: solid numbers for management, sponsors and funding bodies. ### Data protection built in GDPR-compliant, pseudonymised and hosted in the EU. No emotion recognition and no selection decisions: deliberately designed to stay outside the high-risk categories of the EU AI Act. INSIDE A ROUND ## Five kinds of gates, one simple swipe Players run down a city street and swipe into one of three lanes. Every scored moment uses that same swipe, so a mistake reflects the decision, not the controls. Gate types are randomly interleaved, and there is no game over: a wrong lane just glitches the screen and the run goes on. Illustration of the five gate types. The real game is a 3D runner. 1. ### Arithmetic gates Performance A sum floats above the track and two lanes offer answers. Three difficulty levels are spread evenly across the round. Measures: Processing speed and accuracy under time pressure 2. ### Focus gates Performance Collect green circles, avoid red triangles and blue squares. Every colour has its own shape, so colour-blind players are not disadvantaged. Measures: Response inhibition and sustained attention 3. ### Memory chain Performance One gate produces an interim result. A later gate builds on it, with other gates in between. Measures: Working memory 4. ### Risk run Performance A multiplier grows while you keep collecting and resets on a crash. Cash in now, or push your luck? Measures: Risk tendency 5. ### Interest gates Interest Two icons from different interest families appear. Pick the one that appeals more, or neither. They are labelled openly, because this is orientation, not hidden diagnostics. Measures: Study and career interests across six families SEE FOR YOURSELF ## Play NeuroBlitz now Experience a round the way your students will. The test version suggests study fields as its result.

Processing efficiency can't be faked upwards. - Processing efficiency and decision caution, estimated with a drift-diffusion model - Response inhibition and attention stability - Working memory and risk tendency - Reported on a 0–100 scale in everyday language Layer 2 ### Interests What draws you Interest gates have no right answer. A five-second legend before the round introduces the six interest families, based on the established RIASEC model. - Practical - Analytical - Creative - Social - Entrepreneurial - Structured The two layers are never added up into one score. They differ in what they measure, in how reliable they are and in how easily they can be faked. PSYCHOMETRICS FIRST ## Built as a measurement instrument, not a game with a quiz bolted on Trial structure, difficulty, timing, logging and scoring were designed together from day one, so that every claim can be tested. ### Millisecond telemetry Every gate logs when it appeared, when the player swiped, the lane chosen, correctness and frame time. Raw trial data, not phase averages. ### Drift-diffusion modelling Instead of fragile reaction-time differences, NeuroBlitz estimates evidence-accumulation parameters, which research shows to be reliable individual measures. ### Device effects absorbed The model separates input latency and motor speed from the decision itself, so a slower phone doesn't read as a slower mind. ### Interleaved, graded trials Gate types are randomised across the round at three difficulty levels and lane positions are balanced, so no trial type is confused with fatigue or side bias. ### Replay becomes precision Up to three short rounds with parallel forms can be pooled into a more reliable profile, without practice effects from recognising items. ### Accessible by design Colour always comes with shape, one gesture answers everything, and no one is ever knocked out of the game. ### What we claim, and what we don't #### We say - NeuroBlitz is a fast orientation tool with an explicit, testable measurement model. - A pre-registered validation programme covering reliability, fairness, fakeability and predictive validity is in preparation. - Every result comes with a confidence label: strong, moderate or limited evidence. #### We don't - No IQ claims, no percentile ranks, no success probabilities. - No emotion recognition, in any context. - No admission, selection or hiring decisions. NeuroBlitz is for orientation only. THE RESULT ## A result players understand in seconds The result card replaces abstract scores with plain language people can act on. - 1 ### Performance profile Scores from 0 to 100, translated into everyday language: “You decide quickly and slow down when things get complicated.” - 2 ### Top 3 interests The strongest interest directions, with study fields, careers or other recommendations to explore. - 3 ### Confidence label Strong, moderate or limited evidence. When answers are widely spread, the card offers areas to explore instead of a firm recommendation. - 4 ### Honest framing “A quick orientation hint, not a final decision.” No rankings, no verdicts. Illustrative example Your play style Focused · Steady · Action-oriented How you decide - Decision speed74 You decide fast and adapt your pace when it gets harder. - Focus66 You stay on target, even with distractions around. - Working memory58 You keep track of interim results well.

Players swipe through a 3D runner with about 48 scored moments, and the game turns their choices into a profile of how they process and decide and which interest fields draw them in. ### How long does NeuroBlitz take? About two minutes per round on a phone or in a browser, with no sign-up hurdle and no questionnaire. For a more reliable profile, players can play up to three short rounds; each round uses a parallel form with new numbers and icon combinations. ### Can I try NeuroBlitz? Yes. A test version for study orientation runs at uni.taleroai.com and is optimised for smartphones and tablets. For a guided demo or your own edition, contact us. ### What does NeuroBlitz measure? Two separate layers. The performance layer (arithmetic, focus, memory and risk gates) captures processing efficiency, decision caution, response inhibition, working memory and risk tendency. The interest layer (interest gates) captures preferences across six RIASEC families: practical, analytical, creative, social, entrepreneurial and structured. The two layers are never combined into one score. ### Is NeuroBlitz scientifically validated? NeuroBlitz is built psychometrics-first: graded difficulty, interleaved trials, millisecond logging and drift-diffusion modelling make its measurements testable. A pre-registered validation programme covering reliability, fairness, fakeability and prediction of study satisfaction and retention is in preparation. Until it is complete, results are orientation hints with a confidence label, not diagnoses. ### Who is NeuroBlitz for? Universities, schools and career services that want students to engage with orientation, organisers of fairs and events looking for an interactive stand activity, and institutions that want a custom edition with their own outcomes and branding. ### Can we get our own NeuroBlitz edition? Yes. The engine stays the same while outcomes, branding and languages are adapted, for example study fields for a university or reading recommendations for a book fair. A dashboard shows plays, completions and click-throughs. Contact us for a demo and a quote. ### How is NeuroBlitz different from the Talero adventure? The Talero adventure is a story-driven game of about 15 minutes that builds a broad profile of personality, strengths and careers. NeuroBlitz is a two-minute runner focused on decision-making and interests, ideal as a quick entry point, at events or where time is short. ### What happens to player data? Behavioural data is pseudonymised, processed in line with the GDPR and hosted in the EU. NeuroBlitz makes no emotion-recognition claims and must not be used for admission, selection or hiring decisions. ## Let's talk about NeuroBlitz for your institution In a no-obligation demo we play a live round with you, explain the method and outline how a pilot with your target group could look.
