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've had some really strange interviews where I end up talking to them on a meta-level and hypothesising and getting completely off the subject.

    And there were some in which I just went 'I doubt whether this is going to work out, don't you think? I think you are really looking for someone more like xxxxx and not what you put in the job descrLaughingtion, because of [reason].' Followed by some kind of discussion with the interviewer(s). Then I'd leave on a cordial note and they'd end up thinking about what they were really looking for. Laughing

    But you have to remember not to be too perfect - just in case they spot you're taking the p***
