About us

The science, technology and sport experience behind every test.

Quodit Performance

Quodit Performance brings cognitive science into high-performance decision-making. Our team combines scientific research with years of practical work in professional sport. We saw how much talent decisions relied on physical data alone, and set out to close that gap. Our expertise is knowing what to test, and why. We focus on our own spatial reasoning tests and on extended reality testing in settings closer to real performance. Through our partnership with Quodit Ltd, we deliver testing on a secure, hosted platform built for talent identification and development. We want the mind to count as much as the body in every performance decision.
