My issue with CFAT is I have met someone who did a trade for a decade successfully (pre CFAT), but got out and when they went to go back in couldn’t get in the same trade because their CFAT score was too low.

If that was the only issue (its never is the only issue, there is almost always more to the story) they could have gotten a waiver. I've done it multiple times for that exact same situation.

algebra - never.

Algebra is so common that people probably don't realize when they're using it.

I know nothing of military recruiting, but any method of humans evaluating humans is going to be imperfect. However, shoving everybody that comes through the door into training seems like a waste of valuable resources.

decades ago Tommy Wong purchased an ATC510 simulator that he would use to evaluate a would-be student pilot's ability to learn to fly. For those unfamiliar that was a stationary video simulator that sat on a desk. No motion simply instrumentation that responded to inputs. No one failed! The other side of the thought would be to put the same student into a modern Airbus simulator. No one would pass. Many aptitude exams favour the more advanced option expecting people to know more than they do and in possession of skills that are learnt but are not inherent. They may also lean towards textbook knowledge rather than the practical side.
