The hiring rigmarole is just an IQ test in disguise.
The only downside, you can prep for IQ tests, and spend unlimited time doing the prep.
If only someone would come up with a way to control for how long they prepped for this: one week on hackerrank, or 2 years of courses.
I bet those that learn the rigmarole faster, will also pickup k8s and other such fairly ephemeral trivia rather quickly as well.
- game_the0ry 5y ago> The hiring rigmarole is just an IQ test in disguise. Do you have any data to back a claim that ridiculous? I hear this bullshit all the time, yet nothing to back it up. If you think IQ would be a good hiring signal, then just administer an IQ test instead of LC question.
- forum_ghost 5y agoI agree with you in that, we should drop this nonsense, and administer IQ tests legally. Until laws change, this rigmarole will continue though. Administering IQ tests is illegal, that's why this rigmarole exists in the first place. The military isn't subject to silly laws like that, and they do administer IQ tests directly, and place talent accordingly.
