Free test, no application
Am I cut out to be a chatter?
Three minutes, two tests, no sign-up. You get your words per minute, your accuracy and your score on ten questions about reading a message properly. Then you get told, plainly, whether that clears the bar we hire on.
Chatting for creators is a writing job that pretends to be a chatting job. You handle several conversations at once, in somebody else’s voice, for eight hours, and the work is judged on how many of your replies land. Two things decide whether that is survivable: how fast you can put a sentence down without having to fix it, and whether you can tell what somebody actually meant.
Both are measurable in about three minutes, which is why this test exists. It is the same two measurements the screening test inside our application makes, run with a different passage and a different set of questions, and scored with the same code against the same pass marks.
What it measures
Two numbers, and why they are the two.
Neither is a personality quiz. Both are things a shift will find out about you in the first week anyway.
Typing, both halves of it
Speed on its own is worth very little. A reply that has to be retyped costs more than one typed slowly, and a subscriber reading a typo-strewn message is reading proof that nobody is paying attention. So the test measures your speed against the passage in front of you and marks every character that came out wrong, and the pass mark needs both.
Reading, not grammar
Most of the ten questions are about what somebody meant rather than what they typed. “maybe later” is usually a no. “no worries if not” is usually a yes. Missing that is the difference between a conversation that keeps going and one that stops, and it is the hardest thing on this page to teach.
What it does not measure: your internet connection. The real application checks that, because a shift runs on it. Out here it would only tell you about your broadband.
The test
Typing first, then the questions.
The clock starts on your first keystroke, so read the passage before you begin. Pasting is disabled. Nothing you type is stored.
Typing
One minute against a short passage. Accuracy counts as much as speed, because a fast typist who has to be corrected is not fast.
Click the passage and start typing. The clock starts on your first key.
Pasting is disabled. Accuracy counts as much as speed.
English
Ten questions about reading a message and answering it like a person. Not a grammar exam, though the grammar has to hold up.
Being straight about it
Three things this test is not.
- Not an application
It does not sign you up for anything
There is no form, no email box and no account. Taking this does not put you in a queue and skipping it does not count against you. If you want the job, the application is the separate thing with your name on it.
- Not stored
The result exists in your browser
Your keystrokes are scored on our server and thrown away. No row is written and no score is kept, so the link at the end is the only copy of your result, and it is yours.
- Not proof
A shared score can be edited
The numbers ride in the link, so anybody can change them to something flattering. That is fine for a badge and useless as evidence. The result a recruiter reads is the one scored inside an application, on our server.
FAQ
What people ask before they take it.
If yours is not here, write to us. We answer every one.
Is this the same test as the one in the application?
Not the same passage and not the same questions, on purpose. The screening test is marked on our server against answers that never reach your browser, and publishing that set would be handing out the answer key. The format, the timing and the arithmetic are identical, so treat your number here as a fair guide to the real one.
How fast do chatters actually type?
Our pass mark is 45 words per minute at 95% accuracy, and 70% on the English questions. Most people who clear it comfortably sit somewhere between 55 and 75 wpm. Faster than that stops mattering, because the bottleneck becomes deciding what to say.
Does a good score get me hired?
No, and a bad one does not stop you applying. These two numbers are a filter, not a decision. What actually decides it is the three written answers in the application, which is where we find out whether you can hold a conversation rather than just type quickly.
Is anything saved?
No. The text you typed and the options you picked are sent to our server, scored, and dropped: no account, no email, no row in a database. Your score travels only in the link at the end. Like every page here, the test is counted by our own cookie-free analytics, which records that a result was opened but not the score in it. If advertising measurement is on for you, Meta is also told that the test was started and finished, never your score or anything you typed.
Can I take it more than once?
Yes, as many times as you like. There is an hourly ceiling per connection to keep scripts out, and it is high enough that you will not meet it by practising. Typing improves faster than most people expect: twenty minutes a day for a fortnight is usually worth ten words per minute.
What is the job, in one paragraph?
Full-time remote chat specialist. You handle direct messages for creators on 18+ subscription platforms, in their voice, on a fixed shift, with training and a supervisor. The work is explicit and we say so up front. Hourly base plus commission, and a decision on your application within 3-5 business days.
Liked your number? The job is open.
Remote, full-time, fixed shifts, trained from scratch. The application is about ten minutes: three written questions in your own words, then the real versions of these tests. A person reads every one, and you hear back within 3-5 business days.
