tests relevant to ATC (e.g. headset on, one thing being said in one ear, something else in the other, try & keep track of both).
Is/was this really part of the selection process?? Its a known fact that the human brain cannot listen to two conversations at once... it can pick out bits of each, but it cannot 'listen' and understand fully, both of them. The brain does a little trick called 'switching' whereby it rapidly switches between both conversations pickng up snatches of each.
In a busy ATC environment, it is a dangerous habit to pick up. As ATCOS we like to
think we can do it, but the reality is, we cannot.
