Its more psychological than technical.
Once a person knows how to do a thing, they start to think any one who doesn't, is stupid.
Their intelligence becomes the baseline to measure others intelligence.
- aaomidi 8y agoI agree with this. My question always is why do you think this is important for the position you're hiring. Does knowing this question mean they're actually good for your position? This is turning into the situation I've seen in places with serious entrance exams for universities. For example in Iran, a lot of not so talented but have great memorization and afforded to do mindless practice exams are making it into higher education while creative and talented and less fortunate people are staying out. There are entire businesses built around practicing algorithm questions now, this is not a good sign.
