To be honest psychometric here , is a mystery to me. It is systematic and thorough, all right . But If a pilot with 7000 hours total with dubious track record can become chief pilot just for being friend with Gedimias ( no other merit , credit ,value , title, qualification or achievement) , and can make all his minion-ettes friends crawl steps in the hen-house ladder ( short and full of guano ) , then probably what is measured in the test is your ability to gutter crawling .
