So I’m not defending the way they’re used by many airlines, I’m simply saying that they’re a tool that can be used well.
Which is all I've been saying all along. Psychometric testing is a useful tool to examine one aspect of a pilots competencies. Like any tool, it can be used correctly, or misused. That isn't the fault of the tool. I disagree with the assertions made by others that psychometric testing is entirely irrelevant to a pilots skills set, and that in no circumstances are we as pilots ever required to call upon the metrics examined by psychometric testing.

No. But the joke didn't flow as well if I sat there and listed every metric
