oh dear, i must admit thats pushing the mark a bit with me! I could tell you the end result of pushing/pulling/turning/sliding/moving every button/switch/handle/control/pedal in the pointy end of my machine, but how it achieves it in the interim process has long since left me!
there's nothing wrong with being amazed at this stuff... psycho tests are a waste of time and money imo and as a previous poster mentioned, you can 'manipulate' them fairly easily as the majority are looking for consistency in your answers. hell if I took one now and answered honestly i'd probably not be eligible for a job sweeping the buses never mind flying em!
safe flying
