PATRIVA VIRTUAL ASSISTANT · SKILLS ASSESSMENT

Welcome — let's see how you work.

This assessment takes about one hour and runs entirely in your browser. It's how we get to know the way you think, how carefully you work, and how you'd handle the kind of tasks a PATRIVA VA handles every day. Accuracy and judgment matter far more to us than speed.

Before you start

Set aside a full, uninterrupted hour. Use a real keyboard, and work on your own — this is your work we want to see. Some sections are timed, and you can't go back once you move on. Your answers are sent to us automatically when you finish.

SECTION 1 OF 5 · TYPING

Typing test

Type the full passage below into the box, exactly as written. The timer starts on your first keystroke and stops when you've typed the whole passage — so both your speed and your accuracy count. You must complete the entire passage before you can continue.

A great virtual assistant reads every message twice before sending it. She checks the names, the dates, and the numbers, and she fixes small mistakes before anyone else notices them. When instructions are unclear, she asks a short, specific question rather than guessing. She thinks like the client, anticipates what is needed next, and treats every task — however small — as something worth doing accurately the first time.

Timer starts on your first keystroke. Progress: 0%.

SECTION 2 OF 5 · 50 QUESTIONS · 15 MINUTES · NO CALCULATOR

Reasoning test

50 questions in 15 minutes, in the style of a cognitive aptitude test. Most people don't finish — that's expected, so keep moving and don't get stuck. There's no penalty for a wrong answer, so a quick best guess always beats leaving it blank. No calculator, no notes, no looking anything up.

SECTION 3 OF 5 · ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Getting the details right

Three short tasks. This is the part of the job where nothing should slip through — read each one closely.

1 · Fix the email

Below is an email with several mistakes. Rewrite it in the box with every error corrected — spelling, grammar, and capitalization.

SECTION 4 OF 5 · JUDGMENT & PROBLEM-SOLVING

How you'd handle it

Ten real situations a PATRIVA VA runs into. For each, choose the single best action. There's often more than one reasonable option — we're looking for the response that shows the strongest judgment.

SECTION 5 OF 5 · WORK SAMPLE

Think like the client

A client just sent you the message below. It's rushed and a little unclear — real ones often are.

"hi pls can u send over the deck from last weeks meeting to the new investor also make sure the numbers r updated i think Q3 changed and cc my partner james he wasnt on the last email. need this before my 3pm call thx"

A · Write the reply you'd send the client right now. B · List at least three things you'd check, prepare, or confirm that the client didn't spell out. C · A teammate is about to send this line to a client. What, if anything, would you change before it goes out?
"Hi john, thanks for you're patients — we will send over the reports by EOD tommorow, let me know if theirs anything else i can help with."
