GRAs developed for goals other than fun are called serious games. Within them, gamified assessments are serious games that share similarities with traditional assessments (questionnaires, situational judgment tests, etc.) but they incorporate game elements like story, music, and game dynamics. This paper aims to contribute to the research on serious games as an alternative to traditional personality questionnaires by analyzing the characteristics of a gamified assessment called VASSIP. This gamified assessment, based on an existing measure of the Big Five personality traits, incorporates game elements such as storyfication, immersion, and non-evaluable gamified dynamics. The study performed included 98 university students (77.6% with job experience) as participants. They completed the original personality measure (BFI-2-S), the gamified evaluation of personality (VASSIP), a self-report measure of the main dimensions of job performance (task performance, contextual performance, and counterproductive work behaviors), and measures of applicant reactions to BFI-2-S and VASSIP. Results showed that the gamified assessment behaved similarly to the original personality measure in terms of reliability and participants’ scores, although the scores in Conscientiousness were substantially higher in VASSIP. Focusing on self-reports of the three dimensions of job performance, regression models showed that the gamified assessment could explain all of them. Regarding applicant reactions, the gamified assessment obtained higher scores in perceptions of comfort, predictive validity, and attractiveness, although the effect size was small except for the latter. Finally, all applicant reactions except for attractiveness were related to age and personality traits. In conclusion, gamified assessments have the potential to be an alternative to traditional personality questionnaires but VASSIP needs more research before its application in actual selection processes. 000135196 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S31-23R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2021-122867NA-I00 000135196 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000135196 590__ $$a2.6$$b2024 000135196 592__ $$a0.803$$b2024 000135196 591__ $$aMULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES$$b44 / 135 = 0.326$$c2024$$dQ2$$eT1 000135196 593__ $$aMultidisciplinary$$c2024$$dQ1 000135196 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000135196 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-9645-8109$$aFernández-del-Río, Elena$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000135196 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-1517-2820$$aHermoso, Ramón$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000135196 700__ $$aCebrián, Jorge 000135196 7102_ $$14009$$2740$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
