I'm wondering why this is. As a programmer, presumably you are good at learning. Also, it's generally accepted that getting good at interviewing provides a high return on investment. Are you confident that you've been focused on the right aspects of interview skill improvement?

My brain is great at indexing (I remember where I can find a link to a given article explaining that), and I'm good at offsetting my disability with bookmarks, tags and notes on the books I read. All this works great on the real job and sucks terribly for interviewing (and school tests)!
