IT interviews versus how well you'll perform on the job are often poles apart in my experience. The interview is an artificial environment where, what a lot candidates are introverts in my experience, get uncomfortable, so in turn start to stress over factors and that makes logical thinking tricky.
I especially hate contrived technical challenges that never come up in their normal daily routine, that's especially galling. I haven't had to worry about linked lists or n-Queens since university, yet some jobs seem to love presenting you with it.
It'd be a frequent topic on comedies I reckon if IT were a bigger industry. I'd love to see builders, electricians etc going through the hoops I've seen some interviewers make IT candidates.
