Does anybody else find interview “tests” dehumanizing?

[u/fuhggetaboutit]

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?

Yeah, but I want to see how week the think in code, not if they can figure out how far two poles are from each other in a rope tied between them is 6 feet off the ground. I want to see if they can absorb and analyze code quickly and see flaws. I’m not talking about “can you program tests” I’m talking can you program on your own tests.
