Criterion Partnership Assessments / Criterion Partnership Assessment Guide

Criterion Partnership Assessment Guide: direct answer

Criterion Partnership is the legacy name of Clevry’s assessment division, founded in 1991. This distinction matters because Criterion Partnership is now connected with Clevry, while the specific instrument controls content and interpretation.

Use current Clevry product pages while retaining legacy labels for recognition. Use current official guidance for product facts and keep the live invitation as the operational source for deadlines, access and local administration.

Do not confuse Criterion with Criteria Corp or Test Partnership. Use scored original practice for verified ability or judgement modules and neutral familiarisation for personality questionnaires.

Confirm the invitation domain and product title. After the session, record what became clearer, what remains uncertain and whether the next step belongs with Heycademy practice or the organisation that sent the invitation.

Apply this criterion partnership assessment guide: direct answer guidance to the exact product and purpose stated in your invitation. A short preparation record should contain one confirmed fact, one action, one boundary and one question for the administrator. That record is more useful than repeating a questionnaire or relying on an unofficial profile description.

Use this guide as a routing document: verify the current Clevry name, preserve useful Criterion terminology for recognition, and move into module-specific preparation only when the evidence supports it. This prevents broad brand research from replacing practical candidate preparation.

From Criterion to Clevry

Brand and platform terminology has changed while names such as Utopia, B2C and CWS remain relevant. This distinction matters because Criterion Partnership is now connected with Clevry, while the specific instrument controls content and interpretation.

Separate company, platform, level and test names in your notes. Use current official guidance for product facts and keep the live invitation as the operational source for deadlines, access and local administration.

Do not infer that all historical formats remain unchanged. Use scored original practice for verified ability or judgement modules and neutral familiarisation for personality questionnaires.

Prefer dated primary sources. After the session, record what became clearer, what remains uncertain and whether the next step belongs with Heycademy practice or the organisation that sent the invitation.

Frequently asked questions

Is Criterion Partnership now Clevry?

Yes. Current Clevry material says its assessment division was originally founded as Criterion Partnership in 1991. Legacy Criterion, Utopia, B2C, CWS and Psycruit wording can still appear in searches and reports.

What tests can a Criterion or Clevry invitation include?

Current Clevry coverage includes cognitive ability tests, personality questionnaires, situational judgement tests and bespoke combinations. The employer chooses the assessment campaign, so your invitation controls.

Can you practise for Criterion Partnership assessments?

You can practise original reasoning methods and become familiar with common formats. Personality preparation should support honest, consistent self-report rather than desirable-answer coaching.

What score do you need to pass?

There is no verified universal pass score. Clevry describes norm-referenced cognitive results, while employers can use role profiles and combined evidence differently. Ask the hiring organisation how results are used.

Are Criterion assessments timed?

Clevry says its cognitive ability tests are timed power tests with generous limits, while personality questionnaires may be untimed. Exact conditions depend on the named assessment and live instructions.

Is Heycademy affiliated with Clevry?

No. Heycademy provides independent, original preparation and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Clevry, Criterion Partnership, SHL or any hiring organisation.
