I had to do one of those aptitude test things for Nat west in Dublin years ago..it was one of those red files green file blue files..contained plain receipts invoices and x respectively.with a whole pile of other conditions.. bottom line I took a look at this and wrote if this is how Nat west do business when a computer would do the task in no time..then count me out. I still got called to the next phase in the process..but I don't think I really wanted to be a market / commodity trader..
Another interview for are Lingus ..late 80s..and before Ryan air..for pilot..but I knew eyesight may bar me but was also only using it as practice. I did compare a pilot to a glorified bus driver which the precious souls didn't like at the time. I also suggested it would be a good thing to try and see if a jumbo jet could loop the loop..The interviewers didn't know if I was joking or being serious poor things.
