Unless they drastically changed the test….that’s not how it was. When I took the test there were tons of memory questions.
Of course, you are thinking this was done by mail handlers. That’s not who was doing this.
Ever wonder how a billion pieces of mail get from one place to another every day? The guys who design those systems are the ones working on this stuff.
And yes, the exam I saw was for entry level unskilled workers. It was not really fair to imply that they USPS workers are all (or even some) at the level where that's a challenge for them. I took a liberty of using that as an extreme case to illustrate that the USPS is not an R&D or technology organization. If they are doing it internally I'll argue that they are not suited for that sort of work. If they are paying a contractor to develop the tech than it should be subject to oversight, it effects everyone.
Anyway I should have listened to my instinct that someone would read my comment to mean that I'm mocking postal workers as dumb and not posted it. That's not what I believe, it was more about the mission, goals, and priorities of the overall USPS organization being non-technical in nature.

Seeing one mailsorter moving like a fast card shuffler!
Tells the worker we need to study how you are so fast and teach your method, any idea how you became so fast?
He replied, not missing a letter, “Just soon as I learn to read, I be really fast”
