This is pretty standard stuff for armed forces, police, justice and government departments nowadays so once you've practiced a bit, they are a piece of cake. Most of these types of jobs now include an initial exam, on-line application where you sell yourself, a one-way video interview with half a dozen questions, if no initial exam then an online test including abstract reasoning, numerical comparisons and verbal reasoning, followed by a selection day consisting of group activities and typing speed and computer activities, psychometric, then followed by a panel interview. Not to mention pre-employment medical, police check and in-depth reference checks.
Thank goodness the RAF didn't require that sort of nonsense when recruiting for aircrew in 1939. The Poms would have lost the Battle of Britain due lack of pilots..
