>> It's a disguised IQ test

Funny, an IQ test has one of the best correlations with job performance among all hiring methods; one of the few to do better than random chance.

>> Does this person have incredible grit and perseverance? Who cares! Does this person communicate and write well? Who cares! How friendly and amicable is this person? Who cares!

I specifically evaluate all of those things and write them up in the report after a technical interview. I don't know where this person is interviewing, but all of these do matter.

But it doesn't matter how friendly you are if you can't also demonstrate problem solving and coding ability.

Also, what a disaster these threads always are. Depressing.
