I have done a bit of recruiting with some of these HR types and if the answers above were given then I wouldn't want them in the flightdeck with me. Look Guys and Girls, it is their train set and if they want to use a clairvoyant to help them with the hiring process then that is the way it is. If you don't like it don't apply for that airline.
I have been through all sorts of bizarre exercises in the quest to get hired, sometimes it has worked, sometimes it hasn't, just how it is!
