what is a "draw spunky" test? Besides horrifyingly named.

  I think he's referring to those white board coding sessions where the interviewer forgets that you're a human being and not a dog. "Draw Spunky" as a reference to the ubiquitous "If you can draw Tippy, you can be an artist!" ads in the back of comic books where a kid would connect the dots to form a turtle and then send five bucks to some fly-by-night diploma mill. Putting the two concepts together as "draw Spunky" you get a real-life CAPTCHA. Or maybe I've been smoking crack again.

    No, you got it. I’m old, so I remember “Draw Spunky.” I refer to the test, here: https://littlegreenviper.com/miscellany/evolutionary-design-specification/ https://littlegreenviper.com/miscellany/evolutionary-design-...

  I'm guessing this is a psych/creativity test about drawing an abstract concept, like courage. "Spunky" would then be the abstract concept of spunkiness.

  I guess the Americans here may be blissfully unaware that this word could have other connotations on the right-hand side of the pond. https://british-american-dictionary.com/bad-words/spunk-uk/ https://british-american-dictionary.com/bad-words/spunk-uk/

    It has the same meaning in the US.
