You&#x27;re forgetting not everyone <i>could</i> game the system like that. Not everyone is as motivated as you, either. These tests (even if they are contrived, unrepresentative of real work, and gameable) give desirable results.<p>A test who&#x27;s only flaw is that motivated individuals with good problem solving skills could &quot;game&quot; if they worked hard enough?<p>That sounds like a good tool for finding strong candidates to me.
