It is usually possible to do for any type of position [not only developers] if you make a deep-dive interview, asking a lot of open questions (how? why? etc) to understand the operating motto of a person. Drawback - it may take up to 1.5-2.5 hours of one-on-one conversation. I have never failed to separate doers from other types. The only issue I had is that sometimes, after interviwing 20-30 people, I could not find a 100% doer, and therefore I had to make a comromise.
