Many jobs require this kind of testing, mabye its a direction we should be looking....JMO
I believe that some airlines attempted this, if memory serves it was called cognative interviewing. The problem lies in that it opens the airlines up to litigation because of claims of discrimination. I would much rather see it go to this method personally.
