> ...I wonder what I should test on if I want someone correctly smart. Why would you want that? Look for someone who can (and is happy/eager to) learn *from you*. Edit: smart isn't bad, but it's not much of a signal - there are plenty of ways to be smart but not very productive. Moreover, any test in an interview setting well be extremely limited. Ability & willingness to grow seems a lot more useful (and at least equally well testable).
