Exactly. In general, if you do well it means you're probably pretty smart (whether you've memorized or figured it out on the spot). If you don't do well, it just means it's not your type of test most likely. I'd say this creates an opportunity for non-Google like companies to moneyball their teams and get some high quality talent at a discount because they suck at passing the Google filter. If these companies were smart, and considering how much luck is involved in the process anyway, they should look for a different set of criteria to evaluate a candidate on.
