    JPMorgan Chase made me spend a whole 30 minutes playing literal games. It was obviously a legal proxy for testing IQ since it was mostly puzzles but some of them were strictly testing physical traits like reaction time

    And one of them was just asking me to press the spacebar as many times as possible in 60 seconds

    My theory is men are probably better at the physical tests so that was to legally filter out women? Idk

        It can't be that hard to fake this with software right?

          Depends, if theyre just counting its trivial to write a script that mashes the key at whatever rate you want. If its got anything to track the time between presses it gets more annoying

      Maybe JPMorgan Chase are a front for aliens conducting Last Starfighter style tests for human pilots to fight in their losing war using the guise of a game-like employment test.

        I just realized it's probably not filtering out women but moreso disabled and old people

        But it's probably a legal loophole. I can't see what law it'd break and they probably consulted their army of lawyers

          Yeah that makes sense- it would be weird if the threshold was like "wow we got a pro gamer here" and is more likely about people who get fatigued toward the end or lack some kind of physical coordination.

      I mean, you could filter out so much stuff with this. All kinds of nerve issues, repetitive motion injuries. Either way, unlimited gulag to the HR department.
