De Nederlandsche Bank GITP (PiCompany) Assessment Guide
Learn what to expect in the De Nederlandsche Bank GITP assessment, including aptitude and personality tests, with focused practice for timing.
What this assessment preparation covers
This bundle is built for candidates invited to the De Nederlandsche Bank assessment administered by GITP (PiCompany). It focuses on the aptitude test and the personality test, with extra attention on the aptitude part because the questions are timed and compared with a norm group.
The invitation email or the GITP online platform will tell you which parts apply to you. In practice, that means you can prepare in a targeted way instead of studying every possible module.
The main goal is to help you understand the structure of the assessment and work more calmly under time pressure. That makes it easier to use your time well on test day.

How the GITP modules are usually arranged
GITP assessments for this company context commonly include matrices, figure sequences, number sequences, and sometimes analogies. These modules are designed to measure reasoning skills in a clear, standardized format.
Because the exact content can vary by invitation, it is wise to check the details you receive from GITP before you start practicing. That helps you focus on the sections that matter most and avoid spending time on material you do not need.
The exercises are meant to build familiarity first. Once the format feels familiar, you can spend less time understanding the task itself and more time on solving it accurately and within the limit.
A practical way to prepare with limited time
Start with the modules that are most likely to appear in your assessment. Work through a few examples slowly so you understand the logic behind each question type before you try to speed up.
After that, move to timed practice. This is especially useful for the aptitude test, where pacing matters and every question counts. Practicing under time pressure helps you see where you lose time and where you can work more efficiently.
Finish by reviewing the question types that feel less familiar. A short, focused review is often more effective than trying to cover everything at once, especially when you are preparing alongside other commitments.
If your invitation includes the personality test as well, treat it as a separate part of the process. It does not require the same pattern-based practice, but it is still important to complete it carefully and consistently.
What to keep in mind during practice
A steady approach works best for this type of assessment. Read each instruction carefully, keep an eye on the clock, and avoid spending too long on a single item.
For the aptitude modules, practice recognizing patterns quickly. Matrices, sequences, and analogies all reward a systematic method, so it helps to look for repeated changes in shape, position, number, or relationship.
Use your practice to find a rhythm that suits you. The aim is not only to understand the content, but also to manage your time well enough to stay accurate throughout the test.
