After is a 30-40 minute personality test that has different types of questions to gauge your personality (what would you do in this situation, I agree/disagree, more like me/less like me). They are just looking for overall consistency, as they ask you many of the same type of questions in different ways. After that is a basic flight simulator where you maintain altitude and just fly to different waypoints. Finally is a hand-eye coordination exercise where you must keep a ball centered on a target using the joystick. The assessment all-in-all took about 1.5 hours.


I've been told it's starting to carry more weight, but only if your panel interviews were weak. Then they look at your scores as a deciding factor. But if your 2-on-1 was strong, they pretty much don't even look at your scores.
