Written Logic puzzles or "Google" style aptitude t

Post Reply New Topic

I went to a very long interview with a financial software company. I think I mostly nailed it but didn't do so hot on their set of logic puzzles at the end. I have a non-verbal learning disability and I had to struggle hard to overcome the challenges my NVLD presented on top of solving the puzzles. I hope I'm not eliminated due to my performance on the test.

Would you consider logic/puzzle tests (mind you these are timed) discriminatory against persons with non-verbal learning disorders?

i heart logic puzzles....i do them all the time....

It really bothers me that companies now impose tests like this on people! They take hours to complete and those are UNPAID hours. I also think they discriminate against people who may not be NT. I applied for a job and took a 4 hour "personality" test, so they could evaluate my ability to not only problem solve but my "moral" compass. My moral aptitudes are no one's business let alone a potential employer. The test consisted of 240 questions involving phrases like "the means meets the ends"? strongly agree or disagree? then it would ask the question again reworded like 5 or 6 times. I wanted to rip it up into little pieces and run screaming from the building.

I applied for a statistics job. It took me two hours to do all the math problems they gave me. I know I did them correctly, but all I got was a letter in the mail a few days later saying I didn't have what they were looking for! What a waste.
