No, INSEAD doesn’t prefer the GMAT over the GRE — or the other way around. They’ve said clearly that both tests are treated equally during the admissions process, so you can choose whichever one suits you best.
That said, if you're stronger with numbers and feel confident with data-heavy questions, you might like the GMAT a bit more. But if you’re better with reading, writing, or vocabulary, then the GRE could feel easier for you. INSEAD just wants to see you do well — so take the test that helps you show your strengths clearly.
At the end of the day, your test score is just one part of your story. What matters most is the full picture — your goals, experience, and what kind of person you are. So pick the test that fits you best and focus on building a strong, honest application. You’ve got options!
