I don't know if those are better. They sound like the same superstitous interviewing techniques that led Google to ask engineers to estimate the number of ping pong balls that would fill up a Boeing 747.
- jedberg 4y agoI think that's actually a pretty good question. It shows how someone tries to tackle a very nebulous problem with no clear answer. And keep in mind that these questions were for internships in making TV and film, where exactly this kind of creativity is necessary.

The whole point of why I brought it up is because it sounds smart to the interviewer, but doesn't actually measure anything. Actual, validated psychometric tests are typically quite boring and seem intuitively insufficient, while the creative and fun questions never pass validation.
