In sport psychology, Hull's Drive Theory predicts that introverts perform poorly under pressure. The physiological response from a job interview is as about as close to the pressure of taking the last shot in a basketball game as I've ever experienced, and I've experienced both. Couple this with the fact that most programmers are introverts, and I'm always amazed at the credulity with which people accept these fizzbuzz claims. Is it more likely that 90 percent of experienced programmers can't program, or that something about the evaluation process is broken? I can say that I would never take a programming job where it was critical to do well under performance anxiety inducing conditions.
