Do you guys think technical interviews should be done in a way that the interviewer doesn't know whether the applicant is male or female, black or white, autist or normie?

Interestingly, symphony orchestras have done this for their auditions for a long time.

Not a joke. Just want a sufferable opinion from yosposters. Shsc would be a shitstorm of insufferable opinions.

Just finished blink. I knew everyone was subconsciously racist and sexist, but I didn't know how much it impacted our rational thinking.

Reaction time is a factor in this, so please pay attention. Now, answer as quickly as you can.
It’s your birthday. Someone gives you a calfskin wallet. How do you react?
Gavin Newsom: I don’t have anything to put in it. I would thank them and move on.

TW: You’ve got a little boy. He shows you his butterfly collection plus the killing jar. What do you do?
GN: I would tell him to… You know what? I wouldn’t know how to respond. How’s that for an answer? Is this a psychological test? I’m worried…

TW: They’re just questions, Gavin. In answer to your query, they’re written down for me. It’s a test, designed to provoke an emotional response.
GN: Oh, I got you.

TW: Shall we continue?
GN: Sure.

TW: You’re watching television. Suddenly you realize there’s a wasp crawling on your arm. How would you react?
GN: I would quietly sit and wait for the wasp to move to the next victim.

TW: You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, Gavin, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back, Gavin. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that, Gavin?
GN: [Immediately] Not a chance. I would never flip the tortoise over in the first place.

TW: Describe in single words, only the good things that come into your mind. About your mother.
GN: Ethics. Commitment. Sacrifice.

CONCLUSION: Almost too close to call. Almost.

LOVE headshots on resume. Hell, if it included measurements and sexual proclivities that'd be even better. Some raven haired babe, size 0, 36DD who loves to gently caress in supply closets? Hell, I don't care if she been to DeVry - that bitch is IN
