It's easy to game your answer as an interviewee though. HN actually had a post a while back about someone who "interviewed" for a living while on unemployment; by the time he was done, he had mastered pretending to think deeply about the answer to any interviewing question.
- pseut 14y agoIt's possible, but I doubt it's easy. I assume that the "mastery" of thinking deeply about answering interview questions was self-reported, right? I'd be curious to know how many of the interviewers would agree with him about it. This is something that's pretty easy to test out in practice interviews with friends. My experience is that it's a lot easier to come up with questions that require thought and insight to answer than it is to answer them.
