The Battery.
Six tests · ~15 minutes · No correct answers
Every artist who registers for COMBINE undergoes a battery of six tests. Some are physical. One is perceptual. One is creative. One is a questionnaire. All can be done right where you are. The results are transformed automatically into a public profile on the COMBINE website.
Test 01
Vertical Jump
Ambition
How high can you reach beyond your standing height? Is there an Art Jordan among us?
Test 02
Vulcan Span
Dexterity
Make the Spock salute. Spread the split between your middle and ring fingers as wide as they'll go. Live on and prosper.
Test 03
Reaction Time
Responsiveness
Five rounds. Click when the signal appears. Your best three are averaged. Measured in milliseconds.
Test 04
Endurance Blink
Focus
Stare at a crosshair. Stop the timer the moment you blink. Three attempts. Your best time counts. Honour system.
Test 05
Artist Statement
Voice
Five minutes. One image. Write freely. No AI. The timer starts when you begin typing.
Test 06
Wonderlic
Adaptability
Twenty questions. No right or wrong answers. The first ten are multiple choice. The last ten are open. Answer honestly.
