That people have to sit through this kind of bullying in order to not end up with a job as a menial or end up on the streets explains a lot about why we are overdue for massive systemic collapse of the economy, and eventual extinction of the human species.

retired at 25, I'll use all my wealth to advance my learning and likely know more and at a faster rate than the average PhD student. Then at 40 I'll kill myself and split my wealth into 10 parts. 3 parts go to three white kids two of which were tested to have high IQ and three more parts for the same but black kids. Then the last four parts will go to random family members who were nice to me. My father will get nothing because he was mean to me, my mother will get one, my younger brother will, my older won't because he once ate my food I was saving to break my 3 day fast, the last two share will go to two women of different race for child support. The 8 shares of my wealth are to publicly measure the differences in race when given a free meal ticket. I assume it will go exactly as everyone likely predicts.

I'd speak with them personally, off company time, in a pub, restaurant or outdoor setting to try and ascertain whether they were honourable people and whether or not I liked them. If that went well then I'd ask them to send a cv, and if I liked the cv then I'd hire them.
If I wanted someone who was good at jumping through irrelevant hoops, answering irrelevant questions, and hiding their true nature like some kind of sleazy politician, then I'd do it your way.

No one has ever actually asked me this question because it's fucking stupid.

If you're interviewing for a big corporation the questions you're more likely to get will be along the lines of:

"Can you tell me about a time when you dealt with multiple conflicting demands on your time?"

Because this is the technique taught most commonly at HR seminars. The 'correct' answer to such questions is simply to describe a concrete, specific situation (lie and make one up if you can't think of anything true). Don't answer in generalities.

This advice may of course not apply to the specific company or position you're being interviewed for.

I wouldn't go out of my way to interview anyone. If our paths crossed the "interview" happens naturally. Such as in conversations when meeting people or on the internet. I'm sure you come across people who are qualified on the internet constantly. Do you ever strike up a conversation or invite them to apply for a job, or even throw out the implication that they're looking for someone like them? Of course not... probably your excuse is you want people to "show initiative", and even if they do, they end up getting filtered out for not using some stupid key word your algorithms require.
And that's fine. If that's what you want, you can have your corporate culture of fakers and liars:

Also with all the industry-specific tools that are typically used I just don't know how in the world you would casually learn that someone is proficient at excel macros without asking. And if you have to ask then what? Will you be asking every internet stranger who shows an inclination for programming if they know excel macros? This is so impractical and annoying.

first of all excel macros are easy to figure out if you're not a retard. I learned about them and about how to train people to use them once for a job and then promptly forgot everything about them a few months later.

secondly I feel like its only "impractical and annoying" for you because you don't get paid for it.

thirdly, microsoft products are for retarded assholes. you and the desperate fucking losers you interview can go ahead and continue your retarded asshole circle jerk for all i care. get paid to do your little role playing asshole liar dance.

I got rejected from a job I didn't want because of this. Already started a new job and liked the place but I still had an interview booked at another company. I went in just to see how they were and pretty quickly realised I had no interest in working there (it was a drug company, after talking about the duties it seemed to be QC/technician work checking syringe dosing etc, the place I just started at I was working in proper R&D - no contest). They started asking me those kinds of questions and I couldn't be bothered trying to think of 'good' answers and just waffled about whatever (I was also in a bit of a shitty mood because the place was a pain in the arse to get to).
They came back and said they went with someone who answered the questions less generally.
