That test is retarded for sure. I have a very close friend that was rejected due to the shrinks opinion. He was an aircraft commander on B-52's and was highly recommended by several internal Delta guys. After getting his FU letter from HR his friends did some digging and found out the shrink said he was not assertive enough and would not be a good candidate for Captain. This for a guy the U.S.A.F entrusted to command a crew hauling around nuclear weapons to go and potentially kill a few million people. The evaluation is extremely subjective and a waste of time.

The degree requirement is just a discriminator the HR people use to make the stack of applications smaller. It does nothing to ensure the caliber of applicant getting passed on to the next phase of evaluation. HR people are not dumb. They know that qualified applicants are being kicked out by the degree requirement. They just don't care because there are still plenty of applicants left afterwards to easily fulfill hiring requirements.
