in thread TeckChek and other online assessments
It does state quite clearly on the 'sample assessment' page that the sample is a subset of their 'general knowledge' test that only includes World History, Geography and Space Travel :) ...but I think the weakness here is the whole principle of trying to quantitively test what is basically a qualitative thing - how well somebody can program (in perl or otherwise).
The best ('C') interview test I ever took consisted of the teamleader showing me some code and asking me to find the bug. When I found it, I also stated "but I wouldn't do it that way anyway - I'd use {whatever}". "Fine" he said, and gave me the job. Sum interview time - 10 minutes. He knew coding - he knew *I* knew coding - easy as that. The problem comes when it's HR drones that are trying to do the assessment. That's why people buy into stuff like this.
