I've been told that McKinsey in the EMEA region is phasing out the PST in favor of SHL tests. Can anyone confirm this?

Hi Anonymous,
McKinsey indeed moved from PST to SHL in some countries in Europe (eg Italy) although not in all of them; in other regions such as the Middle East and South-East Asia it still uses the PST. I would recommend to verify with HR the current status for the geography interesting for you.
Hope this helps,
Francesco

Dear A,
Yes, you are absolutely right. PST test will be replaced with Imbellus.

In Colombia they have switched from PST to Imbellus AI game.
I took the SHL with Mckinsey African Delivery Hub when I applied in 2016.
