I understand everyone's pride is shattered by the sole concept of being tested for a job, but if I were hiring, I wouldn't see anything wrong with requiring someone to do some sample work. It doesn't mean the "process for decision making" is wrong. It is part of the process, that's all.
This could show what you can't see in a portfolio (which only has the best stuff): how the person approaches a task, how fast they work and most importantly: how serious they are about getting that job.
Would a programmer be tested with algorithmic tasks, ie. "write a table sorting routine"? Most likely he would. So what's wrong with testing a designer, other than him sitting on a higher horse?
- For the record: I would be the same outraged if I were to be tested.raf
