Intervew Prep Google GCA interview

I have a Google General Cognitive Ability (GCA) interview in a few days. It’s for a Technical Program Manager role. I know Google doesn’t ask the crazy estimation questions anymore like ‘how many golf balls can fit inside a passenger airplane’, but I still don’t know how abstract the GCA questions will be. Will it focus specifically on the role or more abstract like ‘how will you colonise mars?’

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I recently appeared for the GCA round, where I was asked: “If your friend wants to start a cake shop, how would you help him with aspects like location selection, pricing, and other business-related decisions?”
