Cognitive Development Tests as part of interview - feel violated

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.

  • Oh, this is standard procedure for anyone wanting a recruitment position for the big interim agencies. At least in the Netherlands.

    That psychological evaluation is always in there somewhere. Often disguised as 'role play', and if the psychologist doesn't really like you he makes your life quite difficult. Which he did.

    After his oral evaluation It hinknI only asked how the hell people passed and if I could please leave now.

    It was years ago and afterwards I actually got a report (like a 50 page booklet) with a detailed analysis. For free. Great. Thanks.
