Yeah, I don't feel confident in the idea that my pinky is around 1/4 of a golf ball. It could be 1/6, or 1/2, or nowhere close to either. A lot of this seems to be an exercise in how confident someone is about arbitrary guesses, and it seems weird to me that a higher willingness to make assumptions is somehow correlated with raw intellect. If someone wants me to do the math with a completely made up number, I can do that, but at that point it seems like the true test is figuring out whether the person asking the question actually cares about the accuracy of the answer or not, and that seems more about the social aspect of an interview. That isn't to say that what it's measuring isn't useful, but I think as someone on the spectrum, it's hard for me not to have a strong reaction to the idea that it's purely a measure of intelligence.

I get it, but it looks like a golf ball is 4.3cm, so I was pretty close for it to be that arbitrary.
