I have said for quite a while, that engineering dominated interviewing processes favor INTP and filter out the INTJ type, when you loose INTJ's you loose the very people that can bring creativity to projects. Sometimes they are not the top of the top when it comes to pure CS or Math, but their ability to view things from a different perspective make them invaluable to development teams. From what I have read, I believe that Google's hiring processes is the antithesis to the INTJ profile.
- mtkd 15y agoI see many interview questions (and discuss interview techniques with peers) and more often than not I wouldn't even know where to start - but I have managed to fairly consistently design/deliver large projects - and take a startup through to IPO (I'm an INTJ).
- kls 15y agoYep same here, I have been through 2 fairly sizable exits, in which I build the tech from the ground up and have done some pretty complex development in my career. That being said I have difficulty with any interview where trivia type questions are asked, let alone the whiteboard as it puts me totally out of my element, I create on computers, as such it is where I do my work, the whiteboard in front of people that I do not know, is not a place to draw out creativity on demand, it is the opposite of the environment needed for an INTJ.
