Cognitive Development Tests as part of interview - feel violated

NAS49818

I just had a cognitive development test as part of a job interview. It wasn't just a questionnaire, there was a psychologist who asked me questions for about an hour. I didn't really feel I had a choice as to whether I took part, but I do feel like I shouldn't have to see a psychologist to get a job? Anybody know what my options are here? The psychologist says everybody has to do it, but I did disclose I was on the spectrum in my application and again during a previous interview stage and I'm not sure I believe him. It certainly doesn't feel fair and I think I am about to be discriminated against.

  • I once had an assessment like that. It took an entire day and there was a talk with a psychologist at the end of the day. By that time I was so tired, I was out of anything interesting to say.

    Needless to say I flunked on the last part.

    It was for a recruitment positiion at an interim agency. Was standard procedure.

    I'm not sure whether in your case it was or wasn't standard procedure?
