While sitting a short written interview test the other day, there occurred to me a possible reason why such tests can be highly misleading.

Each question in the test seemed to call for a logical analysis of a problem with a finite (and very small) number of relevant variable factors. (Sometimes the process of reasoning involved may be so simple as to pass scarcely noticed: this may be where the other *process is used). This analysis may be called finite or conscious analysis. Its use is commonly required in those academic examination problems which call for more than mere memory.
