Here's the Algorithm To Beat the Lego Test:

1. When the group is assembled:
2. Be the first person to speak up so the other students automatically associate you as the group leader.
3. Say "What do you guys think?"
4. Nod your head, but ignore whatever they are saying. This is an especially useful skill for those pursuing a career in management or administration.
5. Apply Divide + Conquer method. Suggest that "we" group "ourselves" so that "we" can "maximize" "our" "resources". I.e., figure out who had the best recollection of the head, the arms, etc. and have them built the parts separately.
6. Congratulations, you probably just got accepted into a bogus liberal arts school when you could've gone to engineering school to build bigger and more kickass robots.

Remark: Do not employ the assembly line method to construct the robot, lest you get sued by the heirs of Henry Ford for violating intellectual property rights.

For those of you not lucky enough to face the Lego challenge when applying for college...
Here's the Algorithm To Beat the Standardized Tests (ACT):

1. Pay careful attention to rules of grammar, write outside of class.
2. Learn to read quickly and remember what you've read.
3. Pay attention in science class and approach problems logically.
4. Do your math homework.
5. Repeat 1-4 throughout secondary education career.
6. Utilise (1) for English test, (2) for Reading, (3) for Science Reasoning, and (4) for Mathematics.

Humor aside; I honestly don't know whether or not this admissions policy idea would be a good idea. It's not the effectiveness of the program that I doubt. I am just not convinced that it is fair to all personality types. Perhaps it would be worth testing to see if perhaps one of the Meyer-Briggs personality types is favored by the tests.

I did a little bit of research on the person mentioned in the article who innovated the program-- Deborah Bial. Apparently she previously worked on a program called "Posse" to help disadvantaged youths get into college and succeed (Click here for story). Now, a program called "Posse" reeks of liberal reform; the name alone makes me groan. But hey, if these programs work to help nurture students who will turn out to be more productive employees and community leaders, it's a good for our society and economy.

But again, I'm not convinced that the tests in an admissions environment are fair for all. Personally, I avoid "Let's get into groups and reach out to each other!" fluff like the plague. I'm fairly certain that's due to my more introverted personality and not a lack of ambition or initiative to succeed.
