For Candidates
Stand out as
a verified human.
Some employers use CogQuiz to verify candidates. If you've been asked to complete a verification test, it takes about 5 minutes and proves you're a real person — not an AI.

What to expect
What is CogQuiz?
CogQuiz is a human verification tool used by employers. It helps them distinguish between real human applicants and AI-generated applications — a growing problem in hiring. When you complete a CogQuiz test, you get a "Verified Human" badge that proves you're a real person.
How long does the test take?
Most people complete the test in about 5 minutes. There's no studying or preparation required — it's designed to be easy for humans. If you're asked to take it by an employer, just go through each question naturally.
What does the test measure?
The test measures things like typing patterns, reasoning under ambiguity, emotional tone detection, and temporal logic. These are things humans do naturally that AI systems have difficulty replicating convincingly.
Will my answers be shared with the employer?
Your employer receives a confidence score and verification status — they do not see your individual answers or any personal information beyond what you voluntarily provide after verification.
Is my data stored?
CogQuiz stores behavioral patterns (typing timing, response patterns) but not the content of what you type, your name, or email — beyond what's needed for the session. See our privacy policy for details.
I don't have an employer login. Where do I go?
Use the link your employer sent you — it typically looks like cogquiz.com/take-test/[code]. If you received a 6-digit code instead, use the candidate login page with that code.
