Imagine a world where everyone’s full potential is recognized and nurtured.

That’s what we’re building at Acuity Insights.

We believe higher education admissions should look beyond grades and consider the whole person—their experiences, strengths, and unique qualities.

Our flagship assessment, Casper, helps make this possible.

It’s an online test that presents real-life scenarios to evaluate important soft skills like empathy, self-awareness, resilience, and ethical judgment. By looking beyond academic performance, Casper helps create more diverse applicant pools and supports admissions teams in selecting students who are best prepared for success.

Rating a Casper test is a critical part of that work, and we’d like to invite you to join our Rater community as an on-demand contractor.

As a Rater, you have the chance to help our Australian-based partners make informed admission decisions.

It is a role that:

• Is open to people with a variety of backgrounds and experiences.

About Casper

Casper was invented in 2010 by Acuity Insights co-founders Dr. Kelly Dore and Oncology Professor Harold Reiter to improve the admissions process at McMaster University's School of Medicine in Ontario, Canada. They recognized that traditional entrance exams and cover letters were biased and lacked insight into applicants' social intelligence and professionalism and built the test to assess those skills.

Casper is a situational judgment test applicants take online. It helps admissions teams understand how they might handle real-life situations.

Applicants are given a story or scenario and must answer questions designed to evaluate their approach to handling the situation. The questions are open-ended and have no right or wrong answers, so applicants can take their answers in any direction they see fit.

Each Casper scenario assesses the test-taker for one or more aspects of social intelligence and professionalism, including collaboration, communication, empathy, equity, ethics, motivation, problem-solving, professionalism, resilience, and self-awareness.

Today, Acuity Insights collaborates with admissions teams in over 600 higher education programs across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Australia, and beyond. These include medical schools, nursing programs, veterinary schools, teacher’s colleges, and, more recently, MBA programs, law and engineering schools.

Since 2014, 1 million applicants have taken Casper. Last year alone, 150,000 applicants completed the test across 90 live online sessions, with our Raters evaluating over 2 million responses.
