Message: <blockquote data-quote="trainee4u" data-source="post: 195866" data-attributes="member: 30779">Anyone done the NRF Arctic Shores? Same as Gowling's?My feedback from Gowling was:"How you understand others": 4/4 - I always do well on emotion recognition games"How you respond to change" 1/4 - I'm sure this is from reacting too slowly or wrongly in the press x/y type games"How you attend to tasks & decisions" 1/4 - I'm not sure what this relates to specifically"How you approach challenges" 3/4 - I think this is spending too long on the game at the end."How you identify patterns & rules" 4/4 - I will have performed very well on the maths stuffSo my concern is that research proves that reaction times decline with age and I'm 40+.NRF have asked "If you have require any reasonable adjustments please do let us know as soon as possible and we can look at what adjustments cant be made."I'm slightly confused by this because they say on their form that "We’re positive about employing disabled people and are an accredited Disability Confident Employer. As a Disability Confident organisation we offer interviews to disabled people that meet the minimum criteria for our roles."On that basis I therefore disclosed that I have ASD (although I don't have a formal diagnosis, I would likely get one), so I'm a bit confused now about this, in that I've already disclosed a disability so there's some second-guessing perhaps on whether I should request an adjustment. In addition, I don't think that the people at Arctic Shores have considered that their games are age discriminatory specifically, and it says on the Arctic Shores page only that any of the following may warrant an adjustment and/or additional time:"▶ ADHD ▶ Autism ▶ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ▶ Dyscalculia ▶ Dysgraphia ▶ Dyslexia ▶ Dyspraxia ▶ Epilepsy ▶ Mental Health Issue ▶ Multiple Sclerosis ▶ Physical Disability"but age is not listed there. I'm very much in doubt that it would be a good idea to email NRF and say "hey, your testing discriminates on the basis of age, which is illegal", even though it's obvious that it does. So maybe I just email and say "I'd like more time for the split-second games on the basis of ASD meaning I have slower reactions" [even though this is probably scientifically much less certain than the age issue, lol]? Anyone with experience dealing with this?!</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
