I once applied to work for Canonical. Prior to offering an interview, they insisted I take the computer version of something called the Thomas International General Intelligence Assessment.
The problem with the computer version of the test is that they show you an image of something for a few moments, then they remove it from the screen and ask you questions about what you saw. If you're Aphantasic, as I am, the test is essentially impossible. I don't have a visual memory. My brain isn't wired that way. Remove something from my sight and the only questions I can answer about it are the things I happened to notice at the time.
I asked for an ADA accommodation. Maybe take the paper version test which doesn't have this problem. Not a chance. You take the test which every applicant takes or you don't get an interview. Period. Full stop. Goodbye.
