As a hiring manager for the last 15+ years, I would LOVE that kind of response. That kind of response would save me a tremendous amount of time and enormous headaches dealing with a bad hire. I would thank you for your honesty, ask you a couple of perfunctory questions so it didn't seem too awkward and then let you go on your way in life to be someone else's problem. Working on real projects that people actually want to pay for means working somewhat on the edge. Things go wrong. There are crunch time when solutions have to be delivered. The last thing I want at those times is to have to depend upon some mommie's special little snowflake who was too self-important to gamely work through some puzzle exercises during an interview for a job he claimed he wanted. That little snowflake will melt every time and leave me and the rest of his team to fend for itself. No thanks.
