I think they were being sarcastic. But it's a bit challenging to conclusively measure someone's level of "smartness", especially with the usual time constraints of most hiring processes. More importantly, it also depends on what "smart" means to you, the company, etc.

You can definitely test things such as openness to new ideas and proneness to certain biases, which tend to be fantastic indicators. Probably not yet in an automated, 200 applicants per day way. Though I can see LLMs changing this.

And unfortunately “productive” needs to be part of the package. I have worked with some incredibly smart people that I really respected who had a very hard time getting anything done.
