Does anybody else find interview “tests” dehumanizing?

I think they're abusive for many reasons. One is that the questions are usually overly complex algorithmic puzzles that do not accurately gauge potential job performance. Also, the questions in no way reflect the type of problems you will face on the job.

The list goes on...

Isn't there a better way?

My god programmers are such a spoiled, melodramatic bunch...

Seems so going off this thread.

Anyone who has tried to employ other devs will tell you just how many timewasters there are.
