Could you pass this dexterity test?

If you interview for a job in my lab – as in many other library conservation labs – you will have to take a test like this to demonstrate your manual dexterity. This is just one example of a dexterity test that we used in the past. The test I took when I was hired into my current job (and that I still use for hiring our student workers) is much simpler than this particular one, but it involved determining paper grain, gluing, sewing, and folding paper.
