What none of these tests, contest or not, can filter for is long term work ethic, dedication and creativity. Of course, these may not be important for all jobs. It is easy for some personality tyles to get excited and focused in the context of an event. It is a very different story to dedicate yourself intensely to a project or a codebase for years. I know people who suck at tests who blow away just about anyone due to the intense dedication to the job they can deliver on a consistent basis.
- victorhn 12y agoA contest winner may be either very naturally talented implying great creativity but not saying anything about work ethic or dedication. Or the person can be not that naturally talented, but had to work a lot (work ethic and dedication) to get good at it and win the competitions. At the highest levels though, i would think you would need all 3 to win an international contest.
