Seriously? Less than half of a software engineer's daily work is actually coding.

  I mean what other components of your competence do the timed coding exercises reveal?

    Prototyping, for one. Thought process. Creative thinking. Knowledge of relevant material. It may not do these better than other tests, but basically any "solve this in x minutes" questions are going to reveal behavior in a person.

      Why does crate thinking have to done fast? I find my best and most creative solutions come randomly after thinking about them "in the background" for a while.

        It doesn't, you must not have read what I wrote. But if I can do the same creative thinking faster than you can, why would anyone bother waiting for you?
