High SAT scores are not predictive of success at college, and neither are hard interviews questions predictive of being a successful developer.
- yzzxy 12y agoI may have not articulated this very well: Both groups in my metaphor (those who naturally understand the SAT questions from learning mathematical concepts, and those who are tutored on known SAT questions) were meant to be among the high scorers on the test. This would imply that SAT scores will not predict real performance, and the same implications would apply to job interview questions that are gamed in a similar fashion.
