Rather: it tests whether you are sufficiently docile and devoted to be willing to cram lots of leetcode exercise books that have no relevance for the programming concepts that the job will involve, just for a lottery ticket for a somewhat well-paid position. I know that there is so much more to programming and related topics that is sooo much deeper (in particular if non-trivial mathematics becomes involved) than these leetcode-style brainteasers. So I strongly prefer to read about such deeply intellectually inspiring topics related to programming instead of jumping through the idiotic hoops that other people want me to. Indeed, I thus fail the test for docility and devotedness, but I honestly can't take organisations seriously that demand such jumping through hoops.
