An Introduction to Jenson8 Applications

Jenson8’s VR applications provide a both physically and psychologically safe VR environment where failure becomes a tool for individual and group improvement. The immersive nature of the platform and the pressure the tasks create reveal individual behaviors and team dynamics, which generate truly actionable insights.

Jenson8 Psychometric vs. Basic Applications

Jenson8 experiences have the option to include a psychometrics application. These applications can be customized based on the desired goals and outcomes of the workshop and team involved.

Jenson8 Psychometric Applications

A workshop using a Jenson8 psychometrics package includes several main components:

Pre-task survey
VR Gameplay (Apollo or Boomerang)
Debrief session
Personal Assessment
Jenson8 Report

A multidimensional Jenson8 report is produced following the conclusion of the workshop. Each individual who participated in the workshop can access their own report via the Jenson8 dashboard.

Jenson8 reports include data collected from:

Pre-task survey: A self-report personality questionnaire taken before the workshop begins.
Machine metrics: Relevant behavioral data collected directly by the VR environment.
Personal Assessment: A brief assessment of an individual's own performance in the VR environment.
Peer Assessment: A brief assessment of an individual's ratings of their group members.

Jenson8 Basic

A workshop using Jenson8 basic includes two main components:

VR Gameplay (Apollo or Boomerang) with machine metrics
Debrief session

Jenson8 basic does not include a multidimensional Jenson8 report. Therefore, the pre-task survey, machine metrics, and personal assessments are not included with basic.

When using Jenson8 basic, participants will simply be guided through the VR gameplay with the selected VR experience (Apollo or Boomerang) and will come together following each round for a 25 minute debrief.
