Turns out I still had it open, half read, in one of my 100+ browser tabs :-)

Nice to hear that you recommend it. (Hmm I wonder if maybe some of the other things you've read were also based on Schmidt & Hunter, 1998?)

I have in mind to do as they recommend (incl work sample tests and structured interviews and work knowledge tests), when/if later on I'll look for people to help me with the software I'm creating.

I wonder b.t.w. if you know about any automatically generated GMA tests?

(Edit: I found some, I can post a link if you want.)

It'd be nice if there were ways to auto generate GMA tests. Then maybe it could be just fine if everyone was allowed to practice as how as they wanted -- if there was an unlimited supply of new questions, because they were auto generated.

Maybe something with generating random 3D shapes and applying rotations.

But then it seems to me it's necessary to measure how well begin good at such things, correlates with being able to learn and get good at software, and scrap any poorly correlated tests.
