This is called simulation and it is a useful tool both when selecting for and training for cognitive skills. Importantly and usefully, simulations for cognitive work do not require any sort of physical fidelity, so it's really easy to set up basic scenarios like for hiring. (The main cost in using simulation for training lies in designing scenarios that train for expertise. That takes slightly more advanced elicitation methods which fall under the umbrella of cognitive task analysis.)
