One of my most serious laughs was a programming aptitude test designed by a psychologist that I could see never got past basic Fortran. It tested your ability to program basic loops, but I could see an algorithm that would have enveloped the loops,but the test had no questions about that. So what do you want out of a developer? How about an ability to dig into the problem domain and come up with an economic way to produce a good solution from the available data?
