Whats the hardest question you get in Aptitudes?
 

What is the hardest type of question one can be faced with in the selection tests?

The questions are not hard, the verbal ones are ambiguous, while the numeric ones are so easy to make.
Practice will really help you, I called up the company who do the BA testing, and they recommened some books!
I do not have them next to me, but if you drop me an email I will give you the info!

With some of them, it is "how are you going to pay?"

Here's one that was put to me in ops once;

You are a new first officer on a night stop in europe. Yourself and the cabin crew are having a drink in the bar relaxing waiting for the captain to arrive. The captain appears in a dress, high heels and make-up, what do you say or do?

comments please.....

Male or female captain?

Buy her a drink?

or you say

" good evening David, ( in a very deep macho voice, pint of Brown ale is it"

you are all a lttle more switched on than i gave you credit for. The captain does not have to be a man. I thought that was quite a good question.

:p well I have to confess that i was not switched onto this! But I did only skim read it, but embarrassingly only realised on reading the proceeding post that the captain could very well be a woman! Soes does this mean that I am sexist -perhaps the name hmm nice flaps gives that away! To be fair though just how many women are Airline captains? Does anyone know any figures.
Nice trick question and I imagine that answering along the lines of "maybe the captain is playing a joke" could be highly embarrasing at an interview.

Dear who-ever-you-are,
have you noticed that women are taking over the aviationworld? Ofcourse the captain is going to walk in with make-up and a dress on. DUHHH

Dear Thermy,
damn right you are. Women are propably better pilots then men, 'cause they don't follow their little friends like we do.
