Done an online test just now for 2 hours.
Part of the recruitment and selection processes of a plc.
It consists of 3 Comprehensions
numerical test
logical test
and 2 essays.
.
and I could say it was quite hard
for a person with average english level like me.
.
The comprehension sounds like this:

"...Yet, it would be a mistake to leap to the conclusion that because human immaturity makes possible high flexibility, therefore anything is possible for the species. Human traits were selected for their survival value over a four-to-five-million-year period with a great acceleration of the selection process during the last half of that period. There were crucial, irreversible changes during that final man-making period : recession of formidable dentition, 50-percent increase in brain-volume, the obstetrical paradox- bipedalism and strong pelvic girdle, larger brain through smaller birth canal- immature brain at birth, and creation of what Washburn has called a “technical-social way of life” involving tool and symbol use. Note, however, that hominidization consisted principally of adaptations to conditions in the Pleistocene. These preadaptations, shaped in response to earlier habitat demands, are part of man’s evolutionary inheritance. This is not to say that close beneath the skin of man is a naked ape, that civilization is only a veneer....."

"......Neuroleptic drugs interfere with the action of dopamine, an important neurotransmitter in the brain, by binding to the dopamine receptors of nerve cells, and dopamine is a prime suspect in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Large doses of drugs such as amphetamines, which stimulate secretion of dopamine, produce a psychosis resembling schizophrenia. Reducing the activity of this neurotransmitter alleviates the delusions that cause psychotic behavior. Although the inhibition of dopamine activity can control psychotic behavior, researchers now believe that the central nervous system of some patients adapts to long-term therapy by increasing the number of specific dopamine binding sites. The net result is dopamine hypersensitivity, which is correlated with the subsequent appearance of tardive dyskinesia........The fact that psychoses can be controlled at the same time that tardive dyskinesia symptoms are reduced suggests that a drug more specifically affecting the mechanism of psychoses might not cause movement disorders. Sulpiride, a drug not available in the United States but widely used in Europe, where it was developed, may be one such alternative. The drug selectively blocks D-2 dopamine receptors, perhaps especially those in the limbic area of the brain, which is involved in emotion and behavior. It does not adversely affect the adenylate cyclase-linked D-1 dopamine receptors......."

Gosh....to carefully read those within a very limited timeframe.......and the numerical test killed me...Prime number...Degrees of lines and triangles......radius.....spheres....Matrix...Algebra.............@_@
.
And one of the essay asked which historical person would i like to dine with and the reason of it......wahaha...my first thought....without thinking too much as only 10 minutes are given for each essay....Chopin desu i wrote....
.
I would prefer doing subjective test now rather than multiple choices....directly expressing what your thought is is much more easier than making decision from a limited pool of choices...ain't it?
.
Tomorrow will be another test...hope that i will finally make it to the final phase~
Genkidesu!
