Hi Samuel! Your explanation of the importance of performance tests in recruiting and selection gave me a new perspective. While I initially thought of them as annoying and irrelevant, you changed my mind. Previously, I've taken one performance test as a sort of pre-req to an interview. In the moment it seemed silly for the employer to need to know how many words per minute I could type and whether I could tell which shapes were the same. But your explanation made me realize it's more so to ensure the competency of an applicant. While I think this specific test was not the most valued part of the hiring process, it gave them some background to go off of.
