I'd agree Eric but they also test your aptitude in certain areas, e.g. maths would test your logic capablility, You Lit would be more to do with memory/language skills, Science subjects tend to test your openness to ideas and accuracy.

Most of this has been superceeded by pyschometric testing in companies.

Our brains are all wired differently and these test show our internal makeup. e.g I'm hopeless at foreign languages, and I mean hopeless, no matter how hard I try it just doesn't go in, similarly with art, ask me to draw something from scratch I've more chance of living till I'm 1000. ask me to copy a drawing though and I'm really good at it. I can't explain why this is and no amount of effort makes a difference.
