Help me understand the critical thinking prehire test?

[AspergersRN]

I have a couple questions.

I went for an interview at a hospital, a job that I really wanted which makes me overly nervous to begin with.

I had to take the normal personality test type thing. Then I had to take the critical thinking test where you read the graphs and the whole 9 yards. I am used to doing well on tests, and I have a high academic achiever. Those critical thinking tests just make me so uneasy?

I can never tell if I did well or if I didn't, except one time a recruiter told me I did well on the tests. I feel like the questions take you in circles, and they are meant to trick you and it has nothing to do with nursing.

I end up with a lot of unknown answers because I answer the questions without making any assumptions. If the fact isn't provided but the information leads you to conclude something but does not specifically state that this is concrete I do not make the assumption.

What is the point of these tests, and tests are usually easy for me. Do they seem to confuse everyone else as much as they are confusing me?

I was so nervous after taking the test that I was so uneasy for a simple interview that I do not know if I messed the whole thing up because of how nervous I was acting. I was asked to provide references and its a process, you have to submit email addresses and the person has to get back to the vendor.

If I did poorly on the test or the interview, would I be asked to submit the references? Can I contact the recruiter and just ask how I did? She also said that she was interviewing and testing more RN's and that in 2 weeks, which is next tuesday that she would be calling to arrange interviews with nurse managers?
