Hmmm, so on standardised tests I typically score in the top two percentile. (yes I'm fabulous). But the best developer I ever worked with was a Russian guy who interviewed terribly. He was great at code, he was even great as a team lead. But he sucked at interviews. I never interviewed him so I can't say why that is but...if there's more than a few of these guys out there, there's room for (major) improvement in the interview business.
