Sounds like fun though.

I guess they're scarce, but there's a trend to it. The Finnish Defence Forces have adopted a habit of testing all applicants (that is, the war school applicants) with such tests, and I guess it's rather rewarding from the perspective. Dropping in people to unfamiliar situations where they're more or less unprepared gives a good insight to how people really behave, instead of how they've prepped up for the interview. The harder it is to prep yourself up for it, the more "you" it will be, I suppose. This obviously doesn't apply to jobs where you're locked in your own office box eight hours a day and only pop out for lunch.
